Question 1 Ivan Institute has secured funds to construct an oval-like lecture hall at their new campus at a cost of 3 million United States Dollars. As a consultant of the project, you have a mandate to package the project for the most qualified contractor. Carry out the procurement process from advertisement to award
The calibrated Greenberg model is of the form, v = 32ln(295/k),where k is in veh/mile and v is in mile/hr.(a)Sketch the v-k relationship and discuss the obviousdisadvantage of the model. b)Determine (i) the jam density, (ii) the capacity or maximum flowand (iii) the values of speed and density at capacity. (c)Sketch the q-k and v-q relationshipsand indicate the points obtained in (b) above.
Vehicles begin to arrive at an amusement park entrance at 8:00 A.M. at a rate of 1000veh/h. Some of these vehicles have electronic identifiers that allow them to enter the park immediately, beginning at 8:00 A.M., without stopping (they are billed remotely). All vehicles without such identifiers stop at a single processing booth, but they wait in line until it opens at 8:10 A.M. Once open, the operator processes vehicles at μ(t) = 8 + 0.5t [where μ(t) is in vehicles per minute and t is in minutes after 8:10 A.M.]. An observer notes that at 8:25 there are exactly 20 vehicles in the queue. What percent of arriving vehicles have electronic identifiers and what is the total delay (from the 8:00 A.M. until the queue clears) for those vehicles without the electronic identifiers (assume D/D/1 queuing)?
