10-Trucks begin to arrive at a truck weigh station (with a single scale) at 6:00 A.M. at a deterministic but time-varying rate of 2(t) =4.3-0.22t where 2(1) is in veh/min and t is in minutes. The departure rate is a constant 2 veh/min (time to weigh a truck is 30 seconds). When will the queue that forms be cleared, what will be the total delay, and what will be the maximum queue length?

A parking garage has a single processing booth where cars pay for parking. The garage opens at 6:00 A.M. and vehicles start arriving at 6:00 A.M. at a deterministic rate of Ȝ(t) = 6.1 − 0.22t where Ȝ(t) is in vehicles per minute and t is in minutes after 6:00 A.M. What is the maximum constant departure rate (from 6:00 A.M. on) needed to ensure that the queue length does not exceed 10 vehicles? Answer in veh/min. final answer: 8.21
Two cars P and Q are moving in a racing track continuously for two hour. Assume that no other vehicles are using the track during this time. The expressions relating the distance travelled d (in km) and time t (in hour) for both the vehicles are given as P: d = 60t Q: d = 60t² Within the first one hour, the maximum space headway would be
A truck weighing station has a single scale. The time between truck arriving at the station is exponentially distributed with a mean arrival rate of 2.30 veh/min. The time it takes vehicles to be weighed is exponentially distributed with a mean rate of 2.60 veh/min. When more than ten trucks are in the system, the queue backs up onto the highway and interferes with through traffic. What is the probability that the number of trucks in the system will exceed 10? State your answer in a form 0.0000.

Vehicles arrive at the parking booth of SM City Tarlac at a rate of 250 vehicles per hour. If the attendant can process a vehicle in 12 seconds, determine the average length of the queue if both the arrivals and departures are exponentially distributed. Note: Answer must be whole number. No need to include the unit. (i.e. 2)
On a certain bus terminal, there are two terminals that can travels to the south. The number of passengers going to the south arriving in the terminal is 150 persons per minute, and the number of people can ride the bus is 100 per minute.

A highway has directional arrival rate of 30 [veh/min] and capacity of 40 [veh/min]. At time t = 0 [min], an accident occurs and stops all traffic. At t = 20 [min], the accident is cleared, and the highway returns to its original capacity. What are the values of lambda (1) and mu (µ) at t= 30? a b At what time does the queue clear? Present your answer to the nearest minute.

7) In studying of traffic flow at a highway toll booth over a course of 60 minutes, it is determined that the arrival and departure rates are deterministic, but not uniform. The arrival rate is found to vary according to the function A(t) = 1.8+0.25t - 0.00312. The departure rate function is u(t) = 1.4 +0 .1lt.
