The gate entrance to a park opens at 8:00 AM and there are 18 vehicles in the queue waiting to enter. Vehicles continue to arrive (from 8:00 AM onward) at a constant rate of 8 veh/min. The gate attendant processes vehicles at a constant rate of 1 vehicle every 6 seconds. Assume D/D/1 queuing for the vehicle arrival and departure processes at this gate. What is the average delay per vehicle (min/veh) from 8:00 AM until the queue clears? O 0.9 O 1.1 O 4.5 O 9 O 81

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.
7.24 Vehicles arrive at an approach to a pretimed signalized intersection. The arrival rate over the cycle is given by the function v(t) = 0.22 + 0.012t [v(t) is in veh/s and t is in seconds]. There are no vehicles in the queue when the cycle (effective red) begins. The cycle length is 60 seconds and the saturation flow rate is 3600 veh/h. Determine the effective green and red times that will allow the queue to clear exactly at the end of the cycle (the end of the effective green), and determine the total vehicle delay for this approach over the cycle (assuming D/D/1 queuing).
An observer notes that an approach to a pretimed signal, the time it will take the queue to clear after the start of the effective green (assuming that approach capacity exceeds arrivals and D/D/1 queuing applies) is 60 s. If the saturation flow rate is 1440 veh/h and the effective red time is 40 seconds, what is the maximum number of vehicles in a queue in a given cycle?

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

Through the Walla Walla Road to the entrance of the E-1 parking lot at the University of Washington, vehicles begin to arrive from 7:40 A.M. at a uniform deterministic rate of 480 vph until 8:20 A.M. and from then on at 120 vph. It takes 10 seconds for a vehicle to go through the paying process at the gate. If the parking lot is open at 8:00 A.M., determine (a) when the queue will dissipate, (b) the total delay, (c) the average delay, (d) the maximum queue length (in vehicles), and (e) the longest vehicle delay under FIFO. Show your results graphically. [Hint: D/D/1 analysis]
An expressway consists of four lanes, where the capacity per lane is 2500 vehicles. In normal days, 6500 vehicles pass. However, there is an emergency road repair conducted in which two lanes will be closed. The repair lasted 150 minutes. Calculate the maximum queue length, total length, and number of vehicles impacted by the event, and average individual delay.
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?
