Q1 A survey conducted to determine the choice of transportation mode (public bus or private car) among urban commuters travelling daily between two cities resulted in the following mode choice model: Um-Bm-0.45C-0.25T where um is the utility function of mode m, C is the out-of-pocket cost in Ringgit Malaysia (RM), T is the travel time in minutes, and B is the constant. These values are provided in Table 1. Table 1: Values for the constant, cost and travel time of each mode Mode, m Public Bus Private Car Constant, B 0.00 2.00 Cost, C RM 1.90 RM 3.20 Determine the modal split (in percentage) between public bus and private car. This equation may be useful: P Travel time, T 18 min 20 min हुने

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)
A study showed that during the peak-hour commute on two routes connecting a suburb with a large city, there are a total of 5500 vehicles that make the trip. Route 1 is 7 miles long with a 65-mi/h speed limit and route 2 is 4 miles long with a speed limit of 50 mi/h. The study also found that the travel time on route 2 increases with the square of the number of vehicles, while the route 1 travel time increases two minutes for every 500 additional vehicles added. Determine the user-equilibrium travel time in minutes.
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.

Two routes connect an origin and a destination and the flow is 15000 veh/h. Route 1 has a performance function t1=4+3*x1, and route 2 has a function of t2=b+6*x2, with the x's expressed in thousands of vehicles per hour and the t's in minutes. (a) If the user equilibrium flow on route 1 is 9780 veh/h, determine the free-flow speed on route 2(i.e. b) and equilibrium travel times. (b) If population declines reduce the number of travelers at the origin and the total origin-destination flow is reduced to 7000 veh/h, determine user equilibrium travel times and flows.
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…

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?
