The gate entrance to a park opens at 8:00 AM and there are 18 vehicles in the queue waiting to enter. Vehicles continue to arrive (from
8:00 AM onward) at a constant rate of 8 veh/min. The gate attendant processes vehicles at a constant rate of 1 vehicle every 6
seconds. Assume D/D/1 queuing for the vehicle arrival and departure processes at this gate. What is the average delay per vehicle
(min/veh) from 8:00 AM until the queue clears?

queue waiting to enter. Vehicles continue to arrive (from 9:00 A.M. onward) at a rate of X(t) =

- 7. Queue Theory: At the end of a sporting event, vehicles begin leaving a parking lot at 2(1) = 12 - 0.25t and vehicles are processed at u(t) = 2.5 + 0.5t (t is in minutes and 2(t) and u(t) are in vehicles per minute).

The mean arrival rate is 4 veh.min and the processing rate is 5 veh/min.

There is a traffic accident happened on EDSA at 6:00 AM the flow rate on that time was 50 veh per min while the normal capacity of EDSA is 60 veh per min but since there is an accident, it reduced to 22 veh per min, the traffic was cleared after 25 minutes.

- At an entrance to a toll bridge, four toll booths are open. Vehicles arrive at the bridge at an average rate of 1200 veh/h, and at the booth, drivers take an average of 10 seconds to pay their tolls.
