Consideration is being given to increasing the toll on a bridge now carrying4500 veh/day. The current toll is $1.35/veh. It has been found from pastexperience that the daily traffic volume will decrease by 400 veh/day foreach 25¢ increase in toll. Therefore, if x iš the increase in toll in cents/veh,the volume equation for veh/day is V= 4500 - 400 (x/25), and the newtoll/veh would be T = 135 + x. In order to maximize revenues, what wouldthe new toll charge be per vehicle, and what would the traffic in veh/daybe after the toll increase?

A rural highway has one lane in each direction. In one direction V = 300 veh/hr/ln at a railroad crossing. The barriers at this crossing are lowered to block vehicles for four minutes and 30 seconds for a train to pass. What is the probability that when the barrier is lifted, the queue has exactly nine vehicles? Assume no initial queue.

4. Three routes connect and origin and a destination with performance functions t₁ = 8 + x₁, t₂ = 1 + 2x₂, and t3 = 1 + 0.5x3 (with x's in thousands of vehicles per hour and t's in minutes). If the peak-hour traffic demand is 3400 vehicles, determine user- equilibrium traffic flows on each route. [Ans: x₂ = 0.68]
A toll bridge carries 6000 vch/day The current toll is $3.50/vehicle. Studies have shown hat for each increase in toll of 50 cents, the traffic volume will decrease by 500 veh/day. Jus desired to increase the toll to a point where revenue will be maximized. (a) Write the expression for travel demand on the bridge, related to toll increase and current volume. (b) Determine the toll charge to maximize revenbes. (o Determine traffic in vel/day after the loll increase, (d) Determine the total revente increase with the new tol.
On a highway, we know that on average 260 cars arrive at a toll booth in one hour. If we admit that thenumber of cars arriving at this toll station follows a lawPoisson, calculate the probability that there are less than fourarrived within a minute.
A bridge has been constructed between the mainland and an island. The total cost (excludingtolls) to travel across the bridge is expressed as C = 50 + 0.5V, where V is the number ofveh/hr and C is the cost/veh in pesos. The demand for travel across the bridge is V = 2500 −10C.a. Determine the volume of traffic across the bridge.b. If a toll of 25 pesos is added, what is the volume across the bridge?c. A tollbooth is to be added, thus reducing the travel time to cross the bridge. The new costfunction is C = 50 + 0.2V. Determine the volume of traffic that would cross the bridge.

Vehicles leave an airport parking facility (arrive at parking fee collection booths) at a rate of 400 veh/h (the time between arrivals is exponentially distributed). The parking facility has a policy that the average time a patron spends in a queue waiting to pay for parking is not to exceed 3 seconds. If the time required to pay for parking is exponentially distributed with a mean of 12 seconds, what is the smallest number of payment processing booths that must be open to keep the average time spent in a queue below 3 seconds?
