Consider a temporary single lane o-ramp/entrance to the expressway. While the entrance is open 24 hours, a fixed toll fee of P10 is charged from 7AM to 9AM as a form of congestion pricing. On the average, a vehicle is served for 7.5 seconds during which the teller receives the fee and gives back the charge, The flow rate is 600 vehicles/hour during the first 25 minutes after which, it is reduced to 360 vehicles/hour and remains constant for the next hours. Solve the total number of vehicles in the queue O 500 450 O 400 O 550

The average queue length at the intersection of the two roads with a stop sign is 4 vehicles. If the arrival rate of vehicles at the stop sign is 300 veh/hr, determine the service rate of the road in veh/hr. Assume both arrival and departure rates are exponentially distributed.
QUESTION 4 What is the time between the arrival of a vehicle and the arrival of the next vehicle, as measured at a given point on the roadway. spacing headway gap O none of the above
Need type answer The T-intersection has 2,400 collision incidents over the last three years. The annual daily traffic is shown in the figure below Determine the accident rate of the intersection.
The average number of collisions on Rt. 116 in South Deerfield is 15 per year. To address the high crash rate, a signal has been installed to make right-of-way explicit. The number of accidents in the following year was 9. MassDOT desires to know with how much confidence this reduction of accidents can be attributed to anything other than random chance.
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.

Time periods (minute) Number of vehicles Find: 9:00-9:30 AM 412 9:30-9:45 AM 702 9:45-10:00 AM 254 1. The hourly volume, the peak rate of flow within the hour, and the peak hour factor. 2. The daily volume for Saturday if the hourly expansion factor (HEF) is 14. B) At a highway segment, six vehicles travel the same distance of 20 miles during 21, 25, 30, 29, 31, and 25 minutes, respectively. These vehicles have stopped at a check points for about 5 minutes. Find the average running and overall travel speeds. C) A parking garage located in Misan city center opens its doors to serve 350 vehicles from 8 am to 3 pm. An analysis of data collected at the parking site indicates that these vehicles are parked for an average of 1.5 hours. If parking efficiency is 0.9, determine the number of additional spaces needs when the number of space-hours increases by 16%.
HIKI TO D OSHITENOJ ON DE No. Date 3 A parking facility operates from 8 a.m. to 6p.m, whereby 20% of those who wish to park are turned back daily because of lack of space. A total of 200. vehicles are able to park daily of which 60% park for an average parking duration of 9 hours and the remaining park For an average parking duration of 2 hours. From a survey of the vehicles who are not able to park daily it is known that 20% of these vehicles desire to park for 9 hours and the For 2 hours. remaining desire to Park If the parking efficiency is 0.9, determine: Li) the number of additional space hours required? (ii) the additional number of parking bays required in order to meet excess demand?
