- Consider a city center where the traffic conditions are described by a Macroscopic Fundamental Diagram (MFD) of network outflow (g- rate of trips finished) vs. accumulation (n- number of cars) with a trapezoidal shape, as shown in the figure below. The values of the parameters are: • • maximum trip completion rate gmax=100 [veh/min] critical accumulations ncr1=1000 [veh] and ncr2=1500 [veh] jam accumulation njam=4000 [veh]. gmax ncr1 ncr2 njam There are two types of demands in the morning peak hour (7-8am): trips generated from outside the city center with rate q1=80 [veh/min], and trips generated from within the city center with rate q2=50 [veh/min]. In addition, a perimeter traffic control, u, is available that only restricts vehicles entering the city from outside. If at 7am there are already no=500 [veh] in the city center: a.

It takes an average of 1.5 min for the necessary tickets to be bought for occupants of each car. (a) What is the expected length of queue at the ticket gate, not including the vehicle being served? (b) What is the probability that there are no more than 5 cars at the gate, including the vehicle being served?
