Transcribed Image Text:During morning peak hour, the average headway of UP-Katipunan jeepneys is estimated
at 5 minutes. If the passenger demand during the same period is 240, determine
whether there is a need to increase he number of jeepney units (or shorten the headway)
for this route. Assume that passenger demand is evenly distributed within that period and
the average load/occupancy is 14 passengers per jeepney.
60
• Using aj
the number of jeepneys per hour is 12 jeepneys per hour. With 14 passengers
he
per jeepney, the total number of passengers per jeepney that can take a ride is 168
passengers.
Since the demand during morning peak hour is 240 passengers, it can be said that there is a
