5-Vehicles start arriving for a booth in a parking lot to receive free brochures at 8:45 A.M at a uniform deterministic rate of 4 per minute and continue to arrive at this rate until 9:15 A.M. From 9:15 to 10.00 A.M. the arrival rate becomes 8 per minute. The brochures are distributed at a uniform deterministic rate of 11 cars per minute over the 45-minute time period only (from 9:15 A.M. until 10:00 A.M). Determine total delay, maximum queue length, and longest vehicle delay.

At exactly 8:00 AM, vehicles start to enter a single toll gate at a rate of 8 veh/min following a deterministic distribution. Due to the teller being late, the toll booth opened at 8:10 AM having a service rate of 10 veh/min following a deterministic distribution. What is the Maximum Queue Length in the system? o 70 vehicles o 90 vehicles o 80 vehicles o 60 vehicles
A ramp meter operates during the morning peak period. Ramp meter cycles vary with time as shown in the table. The metering scheme allows one vehicle to pass the signal. The table below gives the number of vehicles demanding service on the ramp during the particular time intervals, the cumulative demand for the ramp for the morning peak, the ram meter cycle for each interval. Using a queuing diagram, determine the maximum queue, the maximum delay to any vehicle, and the total delay in the system. draw a figure.
The table below shows the number of vehicles observed on a corridor over each 15-minutes during the peak hour. Peak hour (7--8am) 7:00-7:15am 7:15-7:30am 7:30-7:45am 7:45-8:00am # of vehicle 200 120 153 183 Calculate the peak hour factor and report your answer correct to two digits after the decimal.
Vehicles arrive at an entrance to a recreational park. There is a single gate (at which all vehicles must stop), where a park attendant distributes a free brochure. The park opens at 8:00 A.M., the average arrival rate be 240 veh/h and Poisson distributed (exponential times between arrivals) over the entire period from park opening time (8:00 A.M.) until closing at dusk. If the time required to distribute the brochure is 10 seconds, the distribution time varies depending on whether park patrons have questions relating to park operating policies, assuming M/M/1 queuing. a.) Compute the average length of queue (express in veh), b.) Average waiting time in the queue (express in min/veh), c.) and average time spent in the system(express in min/veh)
At exactly 7:45 AM, vehicles start to enter a single toll gate at a rate of 7.5 veh/min following a deterministic distribution. Due to the teller being late, the toll booth opened at 8:00 AM having a service rate of 10 veh/min following a deterministic distribution. At what time does the queue clear? 9:00 AM 9:30 AM 8:30 AM 8:45 AM
9- Vehicles arrive at a recreational park booth at a uniform deterministic rate of 4veh/min. If uniform deterministic processing of vehicles (collecting of fees) begins 30 minutes after the first arrival and the total delay is 3600 veh-min, how long after the arrival of the first vehicle will it take for the queue to be cleared?
Answer questions 13, 14, 15 and 16 using the following paragraph: Vehicles arrive at the carpark of an airport. Vehicles have to queue at the single entrance gate of the carpark at 9:00 AM. The arrival rate is constant at 240 veh/hr. However, between 9:00 and 9:40 AM, the parking ticket machine at the entrance works slowly due to a malfunction, and consequently, each vehicle spends 30 seconds to take the parking ticket. After 9:40 AM, the problem is solved and vehicles spend only 10 seconds at the gate to take the ticket. What is the longest vehicle queue? Select one: a.70 b.64 c.80 d.20 OO
Vehicles begin arriving at Allen fieldhouse at 6:30 PM, at a constant rate of 4 per minute. One gate opens at 7:00 PM and processes cars at a rate of 5 vehicles per minute. At 7:10 PM, a second gate opens, doubling the rate at which cars are processed. What is the average vehicle delay? Assume D/D/1 queuing.
At 10 am, vehicles arrive at a toll booth facility at the rate of 480vehicles/hour. Initially, the toll booth is closed from 10:00 am until 10:15 am. Then it opens from 10:15with a service rate of 6 seconds per vehicle. Assuming D/D/1 queuing, determine:(1) At what time queue disappears? (2) What is the total delay? (3) What is the maximum Queuelength? (4) What is the queue length at 10:00 am? (5) What is maximum delay? (6) What is thedelay for the 140th and 170th vehicle?
Vehicles arrive at a recreational park booth at a uniform deterministic rate of 4 veh/min. If uniform deterministic processing of vehicles (collecting fees) begins 30 minutes after the first arrival and the total delay is 3600 veh-min, how long after the arrival of the first vehicle will it take the queue to dissipate?
The arrival times of vehicles at the ticket gate of a sports stadium may be assumed to bePoisson with a mean of 30 mi/h. It takes an average of 1.5 min for the necessary tickets to be bought for occupants of each car. (a) What is the expected length of queue at the ticket gate, not including the vehicle being served? (b) What is the probability that there are no more than 5 cars at the gate, including the vehicle being served? (c) What will be the average waiting time of a vehicle?
1. Estimate the queue dissipation time, maximum queue length, and total delay, given: Time Arrival Rate (veh/hour/lane) Departure Rate (veh/hour/lane) 3:30 4:00 PM 4:00 8:00 PM 3:00 - 3:30 PM 1200 1800 1200 1200 900 1800
