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. If company policy is that total vehicle delay should be equal to 540 veh-min, what is the service rate? (Assume D/ D/ 1 queuing and a constant service rate.)
Vehicles arrive to a bridge at a rate of 24 vehicles per minute. The capacity of the bridge is typically 3000 veh/hour, but is reduced to 941 veh/hour for 12 minutes. What is the duration of the queue that forms on the bridge in minutes?
Answer 15.8 mins
The average queue length at the intersection of the two roads with a stop signs is 4 vehicles. If the arrival rate of vehicles at the stop sign is 300 vehicles per hour, determine the service rate of the road in vehicles per hour. Assume both arrival and departure rates are exponentially distributed.

- [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?

- Vehicles arrive at a toll bridge at a rate of 420 veh/h (the time between arrivals is exponentially distributed). Two toll booths are open and each can process arrivals (collect tolls) at a mean rate of 12 seconds per vehicle (the processing time is also exponentially distributed). What is the total time spent in the system by all vehicles in a 1-hour period? Final Answer should be: 164.706 minarrow_forwardThere are 10 vehicles in a queue when an attendant opens a toll booth. Vehicles arrive at the booth at a rate of 4 per minute. The attendant opens the booth and improves the service rate over time following the function μ(t) = 1.1 + 0.30t, where μ(t) is in vehicles per minute and t is in minutes.
