Consider a temporary single lane o-ramp/entrance to the expressway. While the entrance is open 24 hours, a fixed toll fee of P10 is charged from 7AM to 9AM as a form of congestion pricing. On the average, a vehicle is served for 7.5 seconds during which the teller receives the fee and gives back the charge, The flow rate is 600 vehicles/hour during the first 25 minutes after which, it is reduced to 360 vehicles/hour and remains constant for the next hours. Solve the total number of vehicles in the queue O 500 450 O 400 O 550

Vehicles arrive at the entrance of the new extension of NLEX. There is a single toll gate at which all vehicles must stop where a toll attendant distribute a trip ticket. The toll opens at 6:00AM at which vehicles begin to arrive at the rate of 8 vehicles per minute. After 20 minutes, the arrival flow rate declines to 2 vehicles per minute and it continues at that level for the remainder of the day. If the time required to distribute the trip ticket is 15 seconds, determine the time the queue dissipates.
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?
Consider a Design-and-Build project of a single-entrance toll plaza awarded to XYZConstruction Corp. Based on the traffic surveys conducted during planning phase, it was found out that the present travel demandalong the existing highway isfollows a negative exponential distributionwith a mean of 4XYZkph. On the other hand, the company received three bid proposals of equipment that they may install in the toll servers with their corresponding service rates:Equipment I(random service)0.7Xseconds per vehicleEquipment II(random service)0.5+Y/100seconds per vehicleEquipment III(regular service)0.8Zseconds per vehicleIn addition, the demand is projected to increase annually by a factor of 1.3Z. If you are the transport planner tasked to design the toll facility, determine the following5years hence:i.The average waiting time of vehicles if Equipment Iwill be installed.ii.The average time spent in the system if Equipment IIIwill be installed.iii.What equipmentwould you recommend as the most…
A toll bridge carries 5000 veh/day. the current tol is 50 cents. When the toll is increased by P0. 25. Traffic volume decreases by 5000 veh/day. Det. the additional amount of toll that should be charged such that the revenue is maximized.
Note: Read the question carefully and give me BOTH right solutions with clear calculations. Vehicles begin to arrive at a toll booth at 5 vehicles per minute from 7 AM to 8 AM. The booth opens at 7:15 AM and services at a rate of 3 vehicles per minute until 7:45 AM. From 7:45 AM until 8 AM the service rate is 6 vehicles per minute. Assuming D/D/1 queuing, (A) have all vehicles that arrived between 7AM and 8AM exited the queue? and (B) what is the total vehicle delay while the queue exists?
Calculate the annual monetary benefit ($ from travel time/delay savings) for an intersection improvement project that reduces average delay by 3.7 sec/veh given the following information:· Average hourly wage in the city is $24.80· Assume 60% of salary for value of travel time savings· Assume 1.65 persons per vehicle· Average Daily Traffic for this intersection is 21,500 vehicles per day
At 9 am, vehicles arrive at a toll booth facility at the rate of 480 vehicles/hour. Initially, the toll booth is closed from 9:00 am until 9:15 am. Then it opens from 9:15 with a service rate of 600 vehicles/hour. Assuming D/D/1 queuing, determine: (1) At what time queue disappears? (2) What is the total delay?
