Chapter 5, Problem 34P
Vehicles arrive at a recreational park booth at a uniform deterministic rate of 5 veh/min. If uniform deterministic processing of vehicles (collecting of fees) begins 20 minutes after the first arrival and the total delay is 3200 veh-min, how long after the arrival of the first vehicle will it take for the queue to be cleared?

The arrival rate at a parking lot is 6 veh/min. Vehicles start arriving at 6:00 P.M., and when the queue reaches 36 vehicles, service begins. The company policy states that the total vehicle delay should be equal to 500 veh-min. Assuming D/D/1 queuing and a constant service rate, what is the departure rate?
vehicles start to arrive at a parking area at 6 am with an arrival rate function(vehicles per minute) of lambda(t)=1.2+(0.3)t, where t is in minutes. At 6:15 am, the parking area opens and processed vehicles at a rate of 12 per minute.
a)Determine when does the queue clear?
b)find the total delay?
c)find the maximum queue length?
