A BRT line operate articulated buses with seating capacity of 200 on 30 km long transit corridor, average load factor is 0.9. During peak hour the total passenger along the route is expected to be 500. Average operating speed is 45 km/hr and layover time is 7.5 minutes at each end. Determine the headway at capacity, frequency and fleet size.

Question: For a two- way bus route, if the demand service is 250 passenger/hr and the route length is 20 km. The route is to be served by 30 seat buses with allow 15 standing passenger with average speed of 40 km/hr. Assuming that all the bus will reach to the destination and leave fully loaded. Also , the bus scheduled must be in 5 minutes increment. Calculate the number of buses required to serve this route ?
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
/ a. A eight lane ( Both direction) highway which opened to traffic at 2019. Truck and busses percent 10,and 20 respectively , ideal capacity 1100 pcu/day/lane . Determine the average daily traffic at 2009(vpd) when the data was collected (K – factor 10% , D = 70% and n =20 years)
It is estimated that after 25 years in a section of highway, the average daily traffic will be 15000 vehicles. It is found that ratio of design hourly volume to the average daily traffic was 15%. The one way traffic volume in the predominant direction is 60% of the two way design hourly volume. Determine the directional ?design hourly volume after 25 years **
Two lanes of the four lanes on a highway section have to be closed to undertake an emergency bridge repair that is expected to take 120minutes hr. The highway's mean free speed is 90km/h, and the jam density is 140 veh/km/ln. If it is estimated that the demand flow on the highway during the emergency repairs is 80% of the capacity (max flow), using the deterministic approach, determine: 1. The maximum queue length that will be formed.2. The number of vehicles that will be affected by the incident.3. The average individual delay.
Compute the peak hour factor if the hourly volume of traffic is 1800 vehicles/hour and the highest 20-min. volume is 800.
Consider the freeway and traffic conditions described in Problem 6.3. If 180 of the 1800 vehicles observed in the peak hour were large trucks and buses, what would the level of service of this freeway be on a 5-mi, 6% downgrade?
The average queue length at the intersection of the two roads with a stop signs is 4 vehicles. If the arrival rate of vehicles at the stop sign is 300 vehicles per hour, determine the service rate of the road in vehicles per hour. Assume both arrival and departure rates are exponentially distributed.

The hourly passenger volume is expected to be 8,750. The transit center is being design with 6, 2.5 ft doors. What is the expected level of service of the doorways?
During morning peak hour, the passenger demand is 600. Assume that passenger demand is evenly distributed within that period and the average load/occupancy is 50 passengers per bus. Calculate the average headway of a city buses? If the passenger demand increases to be 750, calculate the number of bus units need to be added and the headway shorten?
