Expert Solution

Step 1

Given,

Maximum number of vehicles in 5 minutes = 130 vehicle

Flow in the peak hour = (104+109+116+122+130+121+101+105+130+103+107+105) = 1353 vehicles

At the exit of a toll gate with a single booth, vehicles arrive at random at a rate of 20 vehicles per minute. The service has an average rate of 22 vehicles per minute. However, due to variable toll fees, the service is also random with an average rate of 22 vehicles per minute. If the operator of the toll road in the previous problem wants to improve the current condition at the toll plaza, determine the new queue characteristics if the number of toll booths is increased to 2. Estimate the average waiting time of vehicles
Subject : Transportation engineering Give me right solution according to the question
At exactly 8:00 AM, vehicles start to enter a single toll gate at a rate of 8 veh/min following a deterministic distribution. Due to the teller being late, the toll booth opened at 8:10 AM having a service rate of 10 veh/min following a deterministic distribution. What is the Maximum Queue Length in the system? What is the longest waiting time in the system?
SITUATION 3: According to the Department of Transportation the following data are gathered on a 20-mile long expressway for a period of 120 days.

Determine in which year has the lowest accident rate per million entering vehicle. b. Determine in which year has the highest accident rate per million entering vehicle. c. Determine the total accident rate per million entering vehicle. d. In what number of accidents will lower the accident rate per million entering vehicles to 50%. e. If the length of expressway considered is shorten to 10- miles and the N=1 year. Determine the accident rate per million entering vehicle.
[T] The following table provides hypothetical data regarding the level of service for a certain highway. Plot vehicles per hour per lane on the x-axis and highway speed on the y-axis. Compute the average decrease in speed (in miles per hour) per unit increase in congestion (vehicles per hour per lane) as the latter increases from 600 to 1000, from 1000 to 1500, and from 1500 to 2100. Does the decrease in miles per hour depend linearly on the increase in vehicles per hour per lane? Plot minutes per mile (60 times the reciprocal of miles per hour) as a function of vehicles per hour per lane. Is this function linear?

Question: A section of highway is known to have a free-flow speed of 55 mph and a capacity of 3300 veh/hr. In a given hour, 2100 vehicles were counted at a specified point along this highway section under uncongested conditions. If the linear speed- density relationship applies, what would you estimate the space-mean speed of these 2100 vehicles to be? Show all the calculation steps.

Subject is Transportation Engineering The answer to the question is provided what need a is a detailed explanation of each part of the question of how the came about the answers shown in simplest terms
Vehicles arrive at a recreational park booth at a uniform deterministic rate of 4 veh/min. If uniform deterministic processing of vehicles (collecting fees) begins 30 minutes after the first arrival and the total delay is 3600 veh-min, how long after the arrival of the first vehicle will it take the queue to dissipate?
Drivers arrive at a toll booth at a rate of 5 per minute during peak traffic periods. The time between consecutive driver arrivals follows an exponential distribution. What is the probability that it will take a) more one minute between consecutive drivers? b) between 30 seconds and 90 seconds between consecutive drivers?
2. Describe the following types of traffic volume counts and explain when they are used: (a) screen-line counts, (b) cordon counts, (c) intersection counts, and (d) control counts.
13. An incident that occurs on a particular highway results in traffic incurring an average delay of one hour per vehicle. An estimated 2,000 vehicles are impacted by the incident. If the distribution of traffic is comprised of 5% five-axle trucks, 2% three-axle trucks, 4% six-tire trucks, 2% four-tire trucks, 4% medium auto for business purposes, 3% small auto for business purposes, and the remainder are automobiles for personal purposes, what is the value of the total delay incurred by the traffic.
