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]

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. In how many minutes does the queue dissipate? Select one: a. 60 b. 70 c. 75 d. 80

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.
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.
