Draw trajectories of approximately 8 to 11 vehicles moving on a one way 1-lane road with
different time-varying speeds.
b. Consider a time-space window in the time-space diagram of part (a). See below. Denote
the number of vehicles passing BD, DC, AC, and AB respectively as n1, N2, N3, and n4. Write
an equation relating n₁, N2, N3, and n4 to each other. What is the physical intuition of this

Consider a city center where the traffic conditions are described by a Macroscopic
Fundamental Diagram (MFD) of network outflow (g- rate of trips finished) vs. accumulation (n-
number of cars) with a trapezoidal shape, as shown in the figure below. The values of the
parameters are:
•
•
maximum trip completion rate gmax=100 [veh/min]
critical accumulations ncr1=1000 [veh] and ncr2=1500 [veh]
jam accumulation njam=4000 [veh].

There are two types of demands in the morning peak hour (7-8am): trips generated from
outside the city center with rate q1=80 [veh/min], and trips generated from within the city
center with rate q2=50 [veh/min]. In addition, a perimeter traffic control, u, is available that
only restricts vehicles entering the city from outside.
If at 7am there are already no=500 [veh] in the city center:

center of the city.
b. Convert the continuous dynamic into the discrete…
Assume a car park facility where the arrival rate is 1 customer every minute, and the service
process including pressing the button, taking the card, and waiting for the boom to rise leads
to service rate of μ customer every minute.
a. Assume the arrival and service processes are stochastic. Using any software (Excel, Matlab,
or the one you prefer), plot average delay time (including service time) and average queue
size (including the vehicle currently being served) for all combinations of λ = {1,2,3,..,10}
and p = {0.1,0.3,0.5,0.7,0.9}. Specifically, we ask you to make 2 graphs (one for average
delay and the other for average queue size), where the x-axes contains the different values
for 1, and where you make one curve for each p.
b. Assume the arrival process is stochastic but the service process is deterministic with rate μ.
Using any software (Excel, Matlab, or the one you prefer), plot average delay time (including
service time) and average queue size (including the vehicle…

- Consider, M people (aka pax) who want to travel by car from O to D. They all start working at D at Q (e.g., Q-8am). If a person departs at time t, assume the time needed to go from O to D is given by c(t)=A+Bx(t), where x(t) is the flow of people departing at time t [car/unit of time]. In addition, a is the penalty for being early at work (E(t) is how early the person arrived when departing at time t), and ẞ is the penalty for being late at work (L(t) is how late the person arrived when departing at time t). Assume 0 < a < 1 < ß. Further assume the departure time choice problem under the equilibrium conditions. Prove that the arrival time of people who depart when most of the M people start their trips is equal to Q.arrow_forwardConstruction Methodarrow_forwardConstruction Method Ps. not graded, just a reviewerarrow_forward
