Concept explainers

Quantity takeoff

Quantity takeoffs (QTO) are precise estimates of the materials and labor costs required to finish a construction project. During the pre-construction phase, an estimator prepares them, breaking down the project into smaller, more manageable parts that are easier to evaluate. These measurements are used to prepare a construction scope bid. Estimators examine the drawings, specifications, and models to figure out different quantities and their costs. Since, the components, their quantity, and price are all included in the model, quantity take-off can be done automatically using Building Information Modelling (BIM). The time taken for completing a construction project can be reduced by the use of quantity takeoff. These takeoffs are also called material takeoffs and construction takeoffs.

QUESTION 9 During one hour, 360 pedestrians passed by the observation point on the walkway. The flow appeared to be relatively consistent over the hour (i.e. PHF=0.90). Calculate the pedestrian flow per unit width (p/ft/min) if the effective walkway width was 5 ft. Record your answer to the nearest hundredths.
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.
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?
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.
A toll booth on a temple is open from 8:00 AM to 12 midnight. Vehicles start arriving at 7:45 AM at a uniform deterministic rate of six per minute until 8:15 AM and from then on at two per minute. If vehicles are processed at a uniform deterministic rate of six per minute, determine the (a) time of queue dissipation in minutes (b) total number of vehicles in queue and (c) total vehicle delay
