Three routes connect an origin-destination pair with performance functions:t₁ = 20 +0.5x1t2 = 4+ 2x2t3=3+0.2x3with t in minutes and x in thousand vehicles per hour.(a) Determine the User Equilibrium flow on each route if q = 4000veh/h. (b) What is the minimum q (origin-destination demand) to ensure that all the three routes are used under user equilibrium? (c) Suppose that Route 1 is closed for repair. Find the system optimal flow on routes 2 and 3 and compute the total travel times.
Two routes connect an origin-destination pair with performance functions t₁ = 5 + (x₁/2)² and t₂ = 7+ (x2/4)² (with t's in minutes and x's in thousands of vehicles per hour). It is known that at user equilibrium, 75% of the origin-destination demand takes route 1. What percentage would take route 1 if a system-optimal solution were achieved, and how much travel time would be saved?
Two routes connect a city and suburb. During the peak-hour morning commute, a total of 5000 vehicles travel from the suburb to the city. Route 1 has a 50km/hr speed limit and 5km in length, Route 2 has a 55km/hr speed limit and 4 km in length. Studies show that the total travel time on route 1 increases 2 mins for every extra 500 vehicles added. Mins of travel time on route 2 increase with the square of the no. of vehicles expressed in 000’s. Determine user equilibrium travel times.
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 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.

[T] The following table provides hypothetical data regarding the level of service for a certain highway. Plot vehicles per hour per lane on the x-axis and highway speed on the y-axis. Compute the average decrease in speed (in miles per hour) per unit increase in congestion (vehicles per hour per lane) as the latter increases from 600 to 1000, from 1000 to 1500, and from 1500 to 2100. Does the decrease in miles per hour depend linearly on the increase in vehicles per hour per lane? Plot minutes per mile (60 times the reciprocal of miles per hour) as a function of vehicles per hour per lane. Is this function linear?
