A 24-km-long metro circle line has 15 stations. The line operates with an average operating speed of 30 km/h and a headway of 4 minutes. The average standing time at each station is 60 s. a. By how much should the average standing time be reduced to allow the transit agency to reduce the number of TUs by two while keeping the same operating schedule? b. Considering the original condition, what is the required increase in the operating speed to reduce the headway to 3.5 minutes? c. Consider the line operates under the conditions of part a. Due to improvement in the line operations, the operating speed can be increased by 4 km/h over the speed under part a. Assuming the headway remains the same, compute the new operating speed, cycle time and number of TUs.

Displacement, time, and Average Velocity A commuter typically travels on a freeway between Baguio and La Union at a n average speed of 105km/hr On a Monday afternoon, however, heavy traffic is slows down the trip. If t he same distance the commuter is travelling at an average speed of 70km/hr ( 43mi/hr). How much longer does the trip take? (65mi/hr), and the trip takes 2hr and 20 min.
(A) Two buses start at the same time towards each other from terminals A and B, 8 km apart. The time needed for the first bus to travel from A to B is 8 minutes and of the second bus B to A is 10 minutes. How much time is needed by each bus to meet each other if they traveled at their respective uniform speeds.

QUESTION 9 During one hour, 360 pedestrians passed by the observation point on the walkway. The flow appeared to be relatively consistent over the hour (i.e. PHF=0.90). Calculate the pedestrian flow per unit width (p/ft/min) if the effective walkway width was 5 ft. Record your answer to the nearest hundredths.

Question 4 Vehicles begin to arrive at a border gate at 06h50 with a deterministic arrival rate of λ (t) = 5.2 - 0.01t (λ is in vehicles per minute and t in minutes after 06h50). However, the gate opens at 07h00 and serves vehicles at a rate of μµ(t) =3.3 + 2.4t (with t in minutes after 07h00 and u in vehicles per minute). Once the service rate reaches 10 vehicles per minute, it stays at that level for the rest of the day. ● ● Illustrate the operational characteristics of the vehicle queue-delay on a (cumulative) vehicle-Time graph. When will the queue that forms be dissipated? What will be the maximum queue length? Determine the total delay.

An expressway consists of four lanes, where the capacity per lane is 2500 vehicles. In normal days, 6500 vehicles pass. However, there is an emergency road repair conducted in which two lanes will be closed. The repair lasted 150 minutes. Calculate the maximum queue length, total length, and number of vehicles impacted by the event, and average individual delay.
