The arrival rate at a parking lot is 6 veh/ min. Vehicles start arriving at 6:00 P. M., and when the queue reaches 36 vehicles, service begins. If company policy is that total vehicle delay should be equal to 540 veh-min, what is the service rate? (Assume D/ D/ 1 queuing and a constant service rate.)
At 10 am, vehicles arrive at a toll booth facility at the rate of 480vehicles/hour. Initially, the toll booth is closed from 10:00 am until 10:15 am. Then it opens from 10:15with a service rate of 6 seconds per vehicle. Assuming D/D/1 queuing, determine:(1) At what time queue disappears? (2) What is the total delay? (3) What is the maximum Queuelength? (4) What is the queue length at 10:00 am? (5) What is maximum delay? (6) What is thedelay for the 140th and 170th vehicle?
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
Calculate the total flow rate of vehicles from the following data : Time period Volume (vehicles ) 4:00- 4:15 (700) 4:15- 4:30 (812) 4:30- 4:45 (1635) *

Vehicles arrive at a recreational park booth at a uniform deterministic rate of 4 veh/min. If uniform deterministic processing of vehicles (collecting fees) begins 30 minutes after the first arrival and the total delay is 3600 veh-min, how long after the arrival of the first vehicle will it take the queue to dissipate?
vehicles arrive at roadway section at a rate of 300 veh/h according to a Poisson distribution. During a 40 minute interval, how many of the headways will be greater than 4 seconds on average?
