> Commercial trucks begin to arrive at a seaport entry plaza at 7:50 a.m., at the rate of λ(t) = 6.3 -0.25t veh/min, with t in minutes. The plaza opens at 8:00 a.m. For the first 10 minutes, one processing booth is open. After the first 10 minutes until the queue clears, two processing booths are open. Each booth processes trucks at a uniform rate of 2 per minute. What is the average delay per vehicle, the maximum queue length, and the average queue length?

2. A public administration holds its flag ceremonies every Monday from 07:00 am –07:15 am. During the singing of National Anthem –which lasts for 2 minutes –all drivers stop in front of the building as a sign of respect. a.Determine the maximum length of queue formed. b.Estimate the time required for the traffic flow to be back to normal.
At 8:00 A.M. there are 10 vehicles in a queue at a toll booth and vehicles are arriving at a rate of (t) = 6.9 − 0.2t. Beginning at 8 A.M., vehicles are being serviced at a rate of (t) = 2.1 + 0.3t ((t) and (t) are in vehicles per minute and t is in minutes after 8:00 A.M.). Assuming D/D/1 queuing, what is the maximum queue length, and what would the total delay be from 8:00 A.M. until the queue clears?

Vehicles arrive to the park entrance at a constant rate of 900 veh/hour from 7:30 AM to 8:10 AM and then at a constant rate of 600 veh/hour from 8:10 A.M. The park opens at 8:10 A.M. and the manager wants to set the departure rate so that the average delay per vehicle (i.e.: Total delay/total number of arrival) is no greater than 24 minutes (measured from the time of the first arrival until the total queue clears). Assuming D/D/1 queuing, what is the minimum departure rate (?) needed to achieve this? What is the total delay at this rate? What is the longest Queue?
The arrival rate at a parking lot is 6 veh/min. Vehicles start arriving at 6:00 P.M., and when the queue reaches 36 vehicles, service begins. The company policy states that the total vehicle delay should be equal to 500 veh-min. Assuming D/D/1 queuing and a constant service rate, at what time did the queue clear?
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.

Vehicles arrive at a single toll booth beginning at 7:00 A.M. at a rate of 8 veh/min. Service also starts at 7:00 A.M. at a rate of u(t)=6+0.2t where (f) is in vehicles per minute and it is in minutes after 7:00 A.M. Assuming D/D/1 queuing, determine when the queue will clear, the total delay, and the maximum queue length in vehicles.
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 free brochures. The park opens at 8:00 AM. At which vehicles begin to arrive at a rate of 480 veh/h. After 20 minutes, the arrival flow rate declines to 120 veh/h and corrtinues at that level for the remainder of the day. If the time required to distribute the brochure is 15 seconds, and assuming D/D/1 queuing (a) draw the queuing diagram (b) describe the operational characteristics of the queue (maximum queue length, maximum queuing time, average queuing time per vehicle etc.)
The rate of arrival of vehicles at the expressway can be considered to be Poisson with a mean of 45 veh/hr, and the rate of service to vehicles can be assumed to be exponentially distributed with a mean of 1 min. (a) What is the average number of vehicles waiting to be served at the booth (that is, the number of vehicles in queue, not including the vehicle being served)? (b) What is the length of the ramp required to provide storage for all exiting vehicles 90% of the time? Assume the average length of a vehicle is 18 ft and that there is an average space of 10 ft between consecutive vehicles waiting to be served. (c) What is the average waiting time a driver waits before being served at the tollbooth (that is, the average waiting time in the queue)?
vehicles start to arrive at a parking area at 6 am with an arrival rate function(vehicles per minute) of lambda(t)=1.2+(0.3)t, where t is in minutes. At 6:15 am, the parking area opens and processed vehicles at a rate of 12 per minute. a)Determine when does the queue clear? b)find the total delay? c)find the maximum queue length?
ehicles arrive at a single toll booth beginning at 8:00 A.M. They arrive and depart according to a uniform deterministic distribution. However, the toll booth does not open until 8:10 A.M. The average arrival rate is 8 veh/min and the average departure rate is 10 veh/min. Assuming D/D/1 queuing, when does the initial queue clear and what are the total delay, the average delay per vehicle, longest queue length (in vehicles), and the wait time of the 100th vehicle to arrive (assuming first-in-first- out)?
