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.

The arrival rate is given by the function, ?(?) = 2.2 + 0.17? − 0.0032?^2, and the departure rate is given by ?(?) = 1.2 + 0.07?, where t is in minutes after the beginning of the observation period and ?(?) and ?(?) are in vehicles per minute. Determine the total vehicle delay at the toll booth and the longest queue, assuming D/D/1 queuing.arrow_forward
- At a specified point on a bicycle path, bicycles are assumed to arrive according to a Poisson probability distribution. Bicycles are counted in 15-second intervals for a period of 30 minutes (a total of 120 intervals). It is noted that no bicycles arrived in 30 of those 120 intervals. a) What is the expected number of bicycles in any one-minute period? b) What is the average volume, in vehicles per hour? c) How many of these 120 intervals have exactly three bicycles arriving ?

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.
