Tourists arrive at the Manila Zoo at a rate of 250 vehicles per hour. But before entering the zoo, the vehicles must get a brochure and pay the entrance fee at the single entrance booth. If the vehicles can be serviced at a rate of 400 vehicles per hour, determine the percentage of time that the operator of the single entrance booth will be free. Note: Round off your answers to the nearest thousandths. Only include the numeric value of your answer without the unit (i.e. 0.123).

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) Round off final answers to whole number.

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
During morning peak hour, the passenger demand is 600. Assume that passenger demand is evenly distributed within that period and the average load/occupancy is 50 passengers per bus. Calculate the average headway of a city buses? If the passenger demand increases to be 750, calculate the number of bus units need to be added and the headway shorten?
Q3) A manufacturing plant is to be constructed A manufacturing plant is to be constructed in the city of Ankara, in order to provide a faster service to its major customers in the surrounding area. There are three possible locations the company is considering. The distances (in km) from these three locations to the four major customers are listed in the table below. The transportation cost is approximately 1.00 TL/km. The annualized fixed cost of constructing the plant and the customers' demand (number of trips required per year) are also given in the table. Find the best location for this plant.
Answer the following questions based on your own understanding. Use your own words for answering: 1. Identify and briefly describe the two basic demand forecasting situations in transportation planning. What are the three factors that affect the demand for urban travel? Define the following terms: (a) home-based work (HBW) trips, (b) home-based other (HBO) trips, (c) non-home-based (NHB) trips, (d) production, (e) attractions, (f) origin, and (g) destination.
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?
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?
