Q4c. Which service route types are being operated by the following public transport operators in Ghana; Uber, Intercity-STC Ltd and “floating” trotro? Give reasons.
4. Two busses start at the same time towards each other from terminals A and B, 8 km apart. The time needed for the bus to travel A to B is 8 minutes, and of the second bus from B to A is 10 minutes. How much is the time needed by each bus to meet each if they travelled at their respective uniform speeds?

- What are the three factors that affect the demand for urban travel?arrow_forwardProblem. At the train station. The operations manager have scheduled an outbound trips required to go to its place of destination. The vehicle can accommodate 90 passengers per vehicle. And there are three vehicles per train. Fifteen train sets its trip per hour. (Analyze the problem using a Block Diagram to solve the problem. This will serve as your visual aide in analyzing the train problem.) Required: 1. Determine the number of passengers who boarded the train in an hour. (How many commuters boarded the train in an hour?) 2. How many trips were made within an Hour? 3. Determine the train interval. This will serve as its scheduled trips in an Hour. 4. If the scheduled trips / operational hour will start from 6 am, and the last scheduled trip is 10 pm. How many commuters were transported presuming the train is 100 percent fully occupied.arrow_forwardWhat is the concept of level of service?

- to no congestion on the road further downstream of the railway grade crossing. QUESTION 5: Consider trip distribution within 5 zones in an area. The total trip production from zone 1 is 1000. The travel times from zone 1 to zones 2, 3, 4 and 5 are 5, 10, 20, and 30 minutes, respectively. The trip attraction to zones 2, 3, 4 and 5 are 50, 200, 75, and 450, respectively. Assume that the number of trips produced from zone 1 to zones 2, 3, 4 and 5 is inversely proportional to the inter-zonal travel time. (a) Estimate the number of trips from zone 1 to zones 2, 3, 4 and 5 using the gravity model. (b) Assume that the future trip production from zone I will increase to 1,250 and the future trip attraction to zones 2, 3, 4 and 5 will increase to 100, 225, 100, and 600, respectively. Predict the number of trips from zone 1 to zones 2, 3, 4 and 5. The inter-zonal travel times remain the same. (c) Compare the number of trips from zone 1 to each destination zone between (a) and (b).

One link is 9 miles long and has a capacity of 4800 vehicles per hour and a speed limit of 66 miles per hour. The other link is 6 miles long and has a capacity of 2400 vehicles per hour and a speed limit of 42 miles per hour. Assuming that 6000 drivers wish to make the trip from the origin to the destination, find the loaded network? a1 = 1.37904, b1 = 8.24124, a2 = 1.236, b2 = 6.2712arrow_forward
