Determine the share (proportion) of person-trips by each of two modes (private auto and mass transit) using the multinomial logit model and given the following information: Utility function: Uk = Ak – 0.07 Ta – 0.05 Tw – 0.04 Tr – 0.015 C
A calibration study resulted in the following utility equation for different modes in a particular city;??=??−(0.25)(?1)−(0.032)(?2)−(0.015)(?3)−(0.002)(?4)where ??= mode specific constant?1= access plus egrees time in minutes?2= waiting time in minutes?3= line-haul time in minutes?4= out-of-pocket cost in centsFor a particular origin-destination pair, the forecasted number of trips is 5,000. For this particular trip, there are two modes available, bus and auto.a) If the characteristics of these two modes are as follows, how many trips will be taken by bus? And by car? Assume that the mode specific constant is equal to -0.12 for the automobile and -0.22 for bus.b) Assume that a new mode, rapid transit, is to be introduced into the market between these two zones. The characteristics of this new service are as follows:?1=10 ?2=5 ?3=30 ?4=75 Assume from experience in other cities that the mode specific constant for rapid transit is -0.41. What willbe the modal shares of the 5,000 trips…
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.
A large residential area has 1500 households with an average household income of $15,000, an average household size of 5.2, and, on the average, 1.2 working members. Using the model below, predict the change in the number of peak-hour social/recreational trips if employment in the area increased by 20% and household income by 10%. number of peak-hour vehicle-based social/recreational trips per household = 0.04 + 0.018(household size) + 0.009(annual household income [in thousands of dollars]) + 0.16(number of nonworking household members) Round off final answers to whole number.

A work-mode-choice model is developed from data acquired in the field in order to determine the probabilities of individual travelers selecting various modes. The mode choices include automobile drive alone (DL), automobile shared-ride(SR), and bus (B). The utility functions are estimated as: UDL = 2.6 – 0.3(costDL) – 0.02(travel time DL) USR = 0.7 – 0.3(costSR) – 0.04(travel time SR) UB = –0.3(costB) – 0.01(travel time B) where cost is in dollars and time is in minutes. The cost of driving an automobile is $5.50 with a travel time of 21 minutes, while the bus fare is $1.25 with a travel time of 27 minutes. How many people will use the shared-ride mode from a community of 4500 workers, assuming the shared-ride option always consists of three individuals sharing costs equally?
A theme park has a single entrance gate where visitors must stop and pay for parking. The average arrival rate during the peak hour is 150 veh/h and is Poisson distributed. It takes, on average, 18 seconds per vehicle (exponentially distributed) to pay for parking. What is the average time in the system for this queuing system in minutes/veh? Answer in one-decimal place
Determine the trip distribution matrix using "Gravity Model" of transport system with given the data: Trip Production of Zones 1, 2 and 3, correspondingly are 500, 600, and 800 tpd Trip Attraction of Zones 1, 2 and 3, correspondingly are 600, 700 and 600 tpd

Vehicles leave an airport parking facility (arrive at parking fee collection booths) at a rate of 500 veh/h (the time between arrivals is exponentially distributed). The parking facility has a policy that the average time a patron spends in a queue waiting to pay for parking isnot to exceed 5 seconds. If the time required to pay for parking is exponentially distributed with a mean of 15 seconds, what is the smallest number of paymentprocessing booths that must be open to keep the average time spent in a queue below 5 seconds?
Q3) A manufacturing plant is to be constructed A manufacturing plant is to be constructed in the city of Ankara, in order to provide a faster service to its major customers in the surrounding area. There are three possible locations the company is considering. The distances (in km) from these three locations to the four major customers are listed in the table below. The transportation cost is approximately 1.00 TL/km. The annualized fixed cost of constructing the plant and the customers' demand (number of trips required per year) are also given in the table. Find the best location for this plant.
A toll bridge carries 10,000 veh/day. The current toll is $3.00/vehicle. Studies have shown that for each increase in toll of 50 cents, the traffic volume will decrease by 1000 veh/day. It is desired to increase the toll to a point where revenue will be maximized. Let V be the Volume X be the increase in toll charge (a) Write the expression for travel demand on the bridge related to toll increase and current volume. (b) Determine the increase in toll charge (c) Determine the new toll charge to maximize revenues. (d) Determine traffic in veh/day after toll increase. (e) Determine total revenue increase with new toll.
