Concept explainers

Capacity and Level of Service at Intersections

The term capacity is associated with transportation engineering. Capacity helps to understand how many pedestrians or vehicles can be handled by a transport facility. Level of service is also a term associated with transportation engineering. The level of service indicates the performance of the transport facility.

1. A toll booth on a turnpike is open from 8:00 a.m. to 12 midnights. Vehicles start arriving at 7:45 a.m. at a uniform deterministic rate of six per minute until 8:15 a.m. and from then on at two per minute. If vehicles are processed at a uniform deterministic rate of six per minute, determine when the queue will dissipate, the total delay, the maximum queue length (in vehicles), and the longest vehicle delay.
