There are five machines located at the points (0, 0), (2, 0), (0, 2), (2, 3) and (4,3) respectively. A repair shop is planned in the facility. The foreman claims that for any number of expected repair trips between these machines and the repair shop, the optimal location of the new facility can never be at the location (2,1). State whether this claim is true or false.

Determine the breakeven travel time to the nearest 0.1 hours for the following conditions: Vehicle 1: Direct Haul Operating Cost = $69/hour; Vehicle Capacity = 6.47 tons Vehicle 2: Transfer Station Cost = $6.3/ton; Trailer Operating cost = $240/hour; Trailer Capacity = 30 tons
Plz, solve this problem by using the table. Transportation Engineering-2
For this exercise, you are to design a roadway that is to carry 100,000 people a day (excluding truck occupants) – 50,000 in design direction. The vehicles that carry these people include; (1) personal vehicles (average occupancy of 1.2 people per car) 2-2 kip single axles, and (2) buses with 2-22 kip single axles (assume they are filled with an average of 40 passengers). There are also trucks on the roadway and all trucks have 1-40 kip triple axle, 1-32 kip tandem axle, and 1-8 kip single axle. You know that the soil CBR is 6, the initial PSI is 4.5 and the TSI is 2.5. Other values to be used:  All drainage coefficients = 1.0  Reliability = 90%  Overall standard deviation of traffic = 0.50  Concrete Modulus of Elasticity = 5.5 million lb/in2  Concrete Modulus of Rupture = 750 lb/in2  PCC load transfer coefficient = 3.0 Design a rigid and flexible pavement, to last 15 years, for a four-lane road (four lanes in design direction) with 400 trucks per day in the design direction, and…

Two routes are available to carry 1200 vehicles in peak-hour traffic. Route 1 has a posted speed limit of 45 mph and is 5 miles long. The travel time increases by 2x2, where x is vehicles in thousands. Route 2 has a limit of 55 mph and is 6.7 miles long, and the travel time increases by 1.5x. Find the user-equilibrium travel flow and travel time.

Question. 2Propagation speed of 45 km/hr and that each toll booth takes 6 seconds to service a car.Suppose the caravan of 10 cars begins immediately in front of the first toll booth, travels 20 km to a second toll booth, then another 40 km to a third toll booth, and finally stops immediately after the third tool booth. Thus, they travel a total of 60 km. What is the total end to-end delay?
A freeway with two northbound lanes is shut down because of an accident. At the time of theaccident, the traffic flow rate is 1200 vehicles per hour per lane and the flow remains at this level.The capacity of the freeway is 2200 vehicles per hour per lane when not impacted by an accident.The freeway is shut down completely for 20 minutes after the accident and then one lane is openfor 20 minutes and finally both lanes are opened (40 minutes after the accident). What is theaverage delay per vehicle resulting from the accident (assuming D/D/1 queuing)?
Can someone please show me how to solve this step by step. Thank you Suppose you are hired by the UHM Transportation and Traffic Lab (TTL) to analyze vehicle arrivals at one lane of the interchange bridge connecting I-25 and I-40 for the period from 12:00am to 4:00am in a weekday. It is known that vehicle arrivals follow a Poisson process at this location. There is a single-loop detector embedded on this lane at the end of the interchange bridge. Since you do not want to go to the bridge to count vehicles at this time period, you decided to use the loop detector data for the analysis. Of the 720 20-second intervals (the loop detection system stores data every 20 seconds), 508 intervals were identified to have at least one vehicle detected. Assume the loop detector is free of error. Please estimate the vehicle arrival rate (vehicles per second) for this lane. With the estimated arrival rate, please calculate the probability of having three or more vehicles detected in a 20-second…
The table below shows data obtained in a travel time study on a section of highway using the moving-vehicle technique. Estimate (a) the travel time and (b) the volume in each direction at this section of the highway. Choices for northward: Tn = 5.9, 6.2, 5.2, 4.9 Vn = 535, 505, 514, 555 Choices for southward: Ts = 6.2, 5.2, 4.9, 5.9 Vs = 555, 535, 505, 517 Help me pls. I will upvote, Badly need your help. Thankyou :)
Plz answer both a and b. 19 a. The average freight train on a route is 80 cars, L= 120’ each. Estimate average clearance (gap) between trains for q = 50 trains/day on a one way track, 50 mph. q = uk does not apply within a multicar train set, but it does between trains (“train sets”). b. A 50 car unit train carrying containers takes two days from LA/Long Beach to Chicago. A single car takes 20 days. Explain the difference.
