Chapter 5, Problem 38P
A truck weighing station has a single scale. The time between truck arrivals at the station is exponentially distributed with a mean arrival rate of 1.6 veh/min. The time it takes vehicles to be weighed is exponentially distributed with a mean rate of 2.1veh/min. When more than five trucks are in the system, the queue backs up onto the highway and interferes with through traffic. What is the probability that the number of trucks in the system will exceed 5?

- Traffic flow on a three-lane (one direction) freeway can be described by the Greenshields model. One lane of the three lanes on a section of this freeway will have to be closed to undertake an emergency bridge repair that is expected to take 2 hours. It is estimated that the capacity at the work zone will be reduced by 30 percent of that of the section just upstream of the work zone. The mean free flow speed of the highway is 70 mi/h and the jam density is 150 veh/mi/In. If it is estimated that the demand flow on the highway during the emergency repairs is 85 percent of the capacity, using the deterministic approach, determine the following.
