QUESTION 12 At an entrance to a toll bridge, four toll booths are open. Vehicles arrive at the bridge at an average rate of 900 veh/h, and at the booths, drivers take an average of 12 seconds to pay their tolls. Both the arrival and departure headways can be assumed to be exponentially distributed. How would the average waiting time in the queue change if a fifth toll booth were opened? The waiting time is reduced by 2.5 seconds. The waiting time is reduced by 4.7 seconds. O The waiting time is reduced by 6.1 seconds. The waiting time is reduced by 7.9 seconds. O The waiting time is reduced by 9.8 seconds.

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, 20 seconds per vehicle (exponentially distributed) to pay for parking. What is the average waiting time for this queuing system in minute/vehicle? Answer in two-decimal places
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
There are 10 vehicles in a queue when an attendant opens a toll booth. Vehicles arrive at the booth at a rate of 4 per minute. The attendant opens the booth and improves the service rate over time following the function μ(t) = 1.1 + 0.30t, where μ(t) is in vehicles per minute and t is in minutes. When will the queue clear, what is the total delay, and what is the maximum queue length? draw a figure
Vehicles arrive at a toll system at random at an average rate of 15 vehicles per minute. If there are 2 toll booths each at random at an average of 6 seconds after services are done for every vehicle at the toll system. Calculate the following: 5.1 Average length of queue of vehicles5.2. Average waiting time in a queue5.3. Average time spent in a queue5.4. If one toll ticket booth is closed and service time is reduced by 4 seconds, what are the system’s Q, W and T? And plot the arrival distribution curve for this traffic condition

Vehicles arrive at a toll bridge at a rate of 420 veh/h (the time between arrivals is exponentially distributed). Two toll booths are open and each can process arrivals (collect tolls) at a mean rate of 12 seconds per vehicle (the processing time is also exponentially distributed). What is the total time spent in the system by all vehicles in a 1-hour period? Final Answer should be: 164.706 min
At the exit of a toll gate with a single booth, vehicles arrive at random at a rate of 20 vehicles per minute. The service has an average rate of 22 vehicles per minute. However, due to variable toll fees, the service is also random with an average rate of 22 vehicles per minute.Estimate average time vehicles spent in the systemGroup of answer choices0.400.500.450.35
On a certain bus terminal, there are two terminals that can travels to the south. The number of passengers going to the south arriving in the terminal is 150 persons per minute, and the number of people can ride the bus is 100 per minute. Both arrival and departure rates can be assumed to be exponentially distributed. What is the probability having 0 ppassengers in the queue? a. 0.143b. 0.375c. 0.209d. 0.182
After observing arrivals and departures at a highway toll booth over a 60-minute time period, an observer notes that the arrival and departure rates (or service rates) are deterministic, but instead of being uniform, they change over time according to a known function. The arrival rate is given by the function, ?(?) = 2.2 + 0.17? − 0.0032?^2, and the departure rate is given by ?(?) = 1.2 + 0.07?, where t is in minutes after the beginning of the observation period and ?(?) and ?(?) are in vehicles per minute. Determine the total vehicle delay at the toll booth and the longest queue, assuming D/D/1 queuing.
