QUESTION 12 At an entrance to a toll bridge, four toll booths are open. Vehicles arrive at the bridge at an average rate of 900 veh/h, and at the booths, drivers take an average of 12 seconds to pay their tolls. Both the arrival and departure headways can be assumed to be exponentially distributed. How would the average waiting time in the queue change if a fifth toll booth were opened? The waiting time is reduced by 2.5 seconds. The waiting time is reduced by 4.7 seconds. O The waiting time is reduced by 6.1 seconds. The waiting time is reduced by 7.9 seconds. O The waiting time is reduced by 9.8 seconds.

Two observers have determined that the time headways between successive vehicles are exponentially distributed and that 70% of the headways are 8s or greater. If one of observer decides to count traffic in 40s intervals, and the other in 35s intervals, estimate the probability of each observer counting 5 or more vehicles in their own intervals?
At a specified point on a highway, vehicles are known to arrive according to a Poisson process. Vehicles are counted in 20-second s are intervals, and vehicle counts are taken in 120 of these time intervals. It is noted that no cars arrive in 18 of these 120 intervals. Approximate the number of these 120 intervals in which exactly three cars arrive.
Question 9 give detailed process explaining your answer Subject: Transportation Engineering
Vehicles arriving at an intersection from one of the approach roads follow the Poisson distribution. The mean rate of arrival is 900 vehicles per hour. If a gap is defined as the time difference between two successive vehicle arrivals (with vehicles assumed to be points), the probability (up to four decimal places) that the gap is greater than 8 seconds is

Answer questions 13, 14, 15 and 16 using the following paragraph: Vehicles arrive at the carpark of an airport. Vehicles have to queue at the single entrance gate of the carpark at 9:00 AM. The arrival rate is constant at 240 veh/hr. However, between 9:00 and 9:40 AM, the parking ticket machine at the entrance works slowly due to a malfunction, and consequently, each vehicle spends 30 seconds to take the parking ticket. After 9:40 AM, the problem is solved and vehicles spend only 10 seconds at the gate to take the ticket. What is the longest vehicle queue? Select one: a.70 b.64 c.80 d.20 OO
