A small town has residential zones, A and B, producing 900 and 600 work trips respectively. Zone C, D, and E are work opportunity zones attracting 900, 400, and 200 trips. The travel times between the zones and the actual observed trips are as above. Develop a set of travel time factors (fij) for use in a gravity model that will produce a reasonable approximation of the observed trips. Start with an initial value of fij =1 for all links Please clearly show your calculations and provide any explanations/assumptions you may have
1. A construction company wants to know how much material they will need to construct a roadway. On a drawing, scaled H 1:250. V:1:100, total deficit areas were measured on paper in cm^2 along even 30 metre stations. Using the provided data convert the given areas to ground areas and then calculate the volume of material needed to complete the project. Areas (cm^2) Station 18.800 A 20.990 B 22.140 C 23.900 D 24.920 E Answer:

You are working at a radar station for the Coast Guard. While everyone else is out to lunch, you hear a distress call from a sinking ship. The ship is located at a distance of 51.2 km from the station, at a bearing of 36° west of north. On your radar screen you see the location of four other ships as follows: (in the figure) Quick! which ship do you contact to help the sinking ship? Which ship will get there in the shortest time interval? Assume that each ship would accelerate quickly to its maximum speed and then maintain that constant speed in a straight line for the entire trip to the sinking ship.

A usual football tryout involves a player running a 40-yard dash. If a particular player finishes the dash in 4.25 seconds while reaching his maximum speed at the first 16 yard mark with a constant acceleration and then maintains that speed for the remainder of the run, determine this person’s acceleration over the first 16 yard, his maximum speed and how long he accelerated. Set your own variables as you see fit. Show COMPLETE STEP BY STEP SOLUTION and necessary FIGURES.
