At an entrance to a toll bridge, four toll booths are open. Vehicles arrive at the bridge at an average rate of 1208 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?
