It is expected to take 240 days if the weather is dry and the temperature is hot. If the weather is damp and cool, the project is expected to take 320 days. Otherwise, it is expected to take 275 days. The historical data suggest that the probability of cool, damp weather is 35% and that of dry, hot weather is 40%. What is the expected completion time?

Describe what is least cost method (LCM) steps of LCM in transportation?
Dunkin City wants to build a new bypass between two major roads that will cut travel time for commuters. The road will cost $14,000,000 and save 17,500 people $100/yr in gas. The road will need to be resurfaced every year at a cost of $7,500. The road is expected to be used for 20 years. Determine if Dunkin City should build the road using B/C analysis. The cost of money is 8%.
A city engineer has estimated the annual toll revenues from a proposed highway construction project over 20 years as follows: An = ($2,000,000)(n)(l.06)n-1 n = 1.2 .... ,20.To determine the amount of debt financing through bonds, the engineer was asked to present the estimated total present value of toll revenue at an interest rate of 6%. Assuming annual compounding, find the present value of the estimated toll revenue.
Why is it essential to transportation engineers to conduct transportation evaluation? How will this help them in their field of specialization?
A county transportation agency has asked you to suggest the allocation of bridge preservation budget of 50 million between Interstate and non-Interstate highway bridges. Political considerations require that urban populations receive at least $25 million in benefits and rural areas at least $10 million. As a rule of thumb, a $1 million investment yields total user benefits of $1.25 million for $1 million spent on Interstate highway bridges $1 million for $1 million spent on non-Interstate highway bridges Your research also indicates that the distribution of benefits for each highway is
Rail infrastructure projects are likely to have positive equity implications. True or False and Explain why or why not.
A bridge has been constructed between the mainland and an island. The total cost (excludingtolls) to travel across the bridge is expressed as C = 50 + 0.5V, where V is the number ofveh/hr and C is the cost/veh in pesos. The demand for travel across the bridge is V = 2500 −10C.a. Determine the volume of traffic across the bridge.b. If a toll of 25 pesos is added, what is the volume across the bridge?c. A tollbooth is to be added, thus reducing the travel time to cross the bridge. The new costfunction is C = 50 + 0.2V. Determine the volume of traffic that would cross the bridge.
Reynold, Joshua, Dennis and Rogers Consulting Group has a contract to design a major highway project that will provide service from San Fernando to sudipen, La Union. The Consulting Group has been requested to provide an estimated B/C ratio for the project. Relevant data are: initial cost: 20,750,000.00 Pesos Right of way maintenance: 550,000.00 Pesos Resurfacing every 8 years: 10% of first cost Shoulder grading and re-work (every 6 years): 750,000.00 Pesos Average number of road users per year: 2,950,000 Average time savings value per road user: 2.00 Pesos Determine the B/C ratio if i = 8%.
