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, 18 seconds per vehicle (exponentially distributed) to pay for parking. What is the average time in the system for this queuing system in minutes/veh? Answer in one-decimal place

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 toll bridge at a rate of 420 veh/h (the time between arrivals is exponentially distributed). Two toll booths are open and each can process arrivals (collect tolls) at a mean rate of 12 seconds per vehicle (the processing time is also exponentially distributed). What is the total time spent in the system by all vehicles in a 1-hour period? Final Answer should be: 164.706 min
Vehicles begin to arrive to a parking lot at 7:00 AM at a rate of 2000 veh/hour, but the demand reduces to 1000 veh/hour at 7:30 AM and continues at that rate. The ticketing booth to enter the parking lot can only serve the vehicles at 1000 veh/hour until 7:15 AM, after which the service rate increases to 2000 veh/hour. Assuming D/D/1 queuing, draw a queuing diagram for this situation. Find: a) the time at which the queue clears, b) the total delay, c) the longest queue length, and d) wait time of the 500th and 2000th vehicles to arrive to the parking lot (assuming FIFO conditions)?

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? o 70 vehicles o 90 vehicles o 80 vehicles o 60 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.Estimate average time vehicles spent in the systemGroup of answer choices0.400.500.450.35
At an entrance to a toll bridge, four toll booths are open. Vehicles arrive at the bridge at an average rate of 1200 veh/h, and at the booth, drivers take an average of 10 seconds to pay their tolls. Both the arrival and departure rates can be assumed to be exponentially distributed. How would the average queue length, time in the system change if a fifth toll booth were opened?

Vehicles arrive at a toll system at random at an average rate of 15 vehicles per minute. If there are 2 toll booths each at random at an average of 6 seconds after services are done for every vehicle at the toll system. Calculate the following: 5.1 Average length of queue of vehicles5.2. Average waiting time in a queue5.3. Average time spent in a queue5.4. If one toll ticket booth is closed and service time is reduced by 4 seconds, what are the system’s Q, W and T? And plot the arrival distribution curve for this traffic condition

At 8:00 A.M. there are 10 vehicles in a queue at a toll booth and vehicles are arriving at a rate of (t) = 6.9 − 0.2t. Beginning at 8 A.M., vehicles are being serviced at a rate of (t) = 2.1 + 0.3t ((t) and (t) are in vehicles per minute and t is in minutes after 8:00 A.M.). Assuming D/D/1 queuing, what is the maximum queue length, and what would the total delay be from 8:00 A.M. until the queue clears? (Also Draw the D/D1)
