How many ticket vending machines will be needed if the hourly passenger demand is expected to be 8,750 and it takes each passenger 8 seconds to retrieve a ticket? Tickets are mandatory for all passengers. Round up your answer to the nearest integer (i.e. ticket vending machine).
A model for non-work related trips has been developed by the Texas Department of Transportation for Wheeler, Texas. The model is based on the number of trips per household: Number of peak-hour vehicle-based social 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) For the northeast section of Wheeler, the average household has six members and an annual income of $50,000. If each household has one working member, how many peak-hour social trips are predicted?
