A bus route has stops at every intersection, 200 m apart. The speed of traffic and of the buses except for their stopping at bus stops is 30 km/h, but for every stop, buses lose a total of ts=20 seconds. Passengers are uniformly distributed along the route and walk to/from its stops at a speed of Vw= 4.8 km/h. a. How would a passenger's total travel time (consider only access to stops and travel on buses) change if every other stop was abandoned (i.e., the spacing between stops was increased from 200 m to 400 meters, if the average trip length on the line is: i) 4 km; ii) 6 km; and iii) 8 km? b. For what passenger trip length Lp will the total travel time remain the same?

Question

A bus route has stops at every intersection, 200 m apart. The speed of traffic and of the buses
except for their stopping at bus stops is 30 km/h, but for every stop, buses lose a total of ts=20
seconds. Passengers are uniformly distributed along the route and walk to/from its stops at a speed
of Vw= 4.8 km/h.
a. How would a passenger's total travel time (consider only access to stops and travel on
buses) change if every other stop was abandoned (i.e., the spacing between stops was
increased from 200 m to 400 meters, if the average trip length on the line is: i) 4 km; ii) 6
km; and iii) 8 km?
b. For what passenger trip length Lp will the total travel time remain the same?

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.
The rate of arrival of vehicles at the expressway can be considered to be Poisson with a mean of 45 veh/hr, and the rate of service to vehicles can be assumed to be exponentially distributed with a mean of 1 min. (a) What is the average number of vehicles waiting to be served at the booth (that is, the number of vehicles in queue, not including the vehicle being served)? (b) What is the length of the ramp required to provide storage for all exiting vehicles 90% of the time? Assume the average length of a vehicle is 18 ft and that there is an average space of 10 ft between consecutive vehicles waiting to be served. (c) What is the average waiting time a driver waits before being served at the tollbooth (that is, the average waiting time in the queue)?
A theme park has a single entrance gate where visitors must stop and pay for parking. The average arrival rate during the peak hour is 150 veh/h and is Poisson distributed. It takes, on average, 20 seconds per vehicle (exponentially distributed) to pay for parking. What is the average waiting time for this queuing system in minute/vehicle? Answer in two-decimal places
Vehicles arrive at a single toll booth beginning at 7:00 A.M. at a rate of 8 veh/min. Service also starts at 7:00 A.M. at a rate of u(t)=6+0.2t where (f) is in vehicles per minute and it is in minutes after 7:00 A.M. Assuming D/D/1 queuing, determine when the queue will clear, the total delay, and the maximum queue length in vehicles.
Six vehicles are observed in a 200 m section of a highway. If the average time headway is 4 sec., determine the density of flow (veh/km), flow of traffic (veh/hr) and space mean speed (kph).
3-The arrival rate at a parking lot is 6 veh/min. Vehicles start arriving at 6:00 P.M., and when the queue reaches 36 vehicles, service begins. If company policy is that total vehicle delay should be equal to 500 veh min, what is the departure rate? (Assume D/D/1 queuing and a constant service rate.)
F] Vehicles travel at constant speeds on a one-lane one-way street between sections X and Y. An observer located at point X observes the four vehicles passing point X during a period of 10 seconds. The speeds of the vehicles are measured as 45, 45, 40, and 30mph, respectively. Calculate the average flow, density, time mean speed, and space mean speed.
freeway with two northbound lanes is shut down because of an accident. At the time of the accident, the traffic flow rate is 1200 vehicles per hour per lane and the flow remains at this level. The capacity of the freeway is 2200 vehicles per hour per lane when not impacted by an accident. The freeway is shut down completely for 20 minutes after the accident; then one lane is opened 20 minutes after accident; and finally both lanes are opened 40 minutes after the accident. What is the total delay resulting from the accident (assuming D/D/1 queuing)?
6. Vehicles begin to arrive at a toll booth at 8:50AM with an arrival rate of (t)=4.1+0.01t with t in minutes and 2(t) in vehicles per minute. The toll booth opens at 9:00AM and process vehicle at a rate of 12 veh/min throughout the day. When will the queue dissipate?
