An airport runway accommodates 18 arrival flights in an hour and departure flights occur every 2.1429 minutes during normal weather season. During holidays, arrival flights are increase to 24 but on bad weather conditions, departure flights is changed to 2.727 minutes due to a decline in flight departures. Determine the queueing characteristics of the airport during these conditions.

1. Planners have estimated the following models for the AM Peak Hour T₁ = 1.5 H₁ T; - (1.5 Euj1) + (1 Euthy) + (0.5 Eretj) Where: T - Person Trips Originating in Zone i T₁ = Person Trips Destined for Zone j H Esti Eath Eret Variable 10000 8000 3000 2000 Data Dakotopolis 15000 10000 5000 1500 New Fargo A. What are the number of person trips originating in and destined for each city? B. Normalize the number of person trips so that the number of person trip origins = the number of person trip destinations. Assume the model for person trip origins is more accurate.

The arrival times of vehicles at the ticket gate of a sports stadium may be assumed to bePoisson with a mean of 30 mi/h. 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? (c) What will be the average waiting time of a vehicle?
It was estimated that the number of trips between north Davis and the campus during the 8-9 AM peak hour is given by the following trip generation model: Q = 500 +5.0(class) +0.05(students) where Q is the total number of trips during the peak hour, class is the number of classes taught between 8-9 AM, and students is the number of students on campus. It was further estimated that there are 80 classes taught on campus between 8-9 AM and the student population is 15,000. Furthermore, these trips were accomplished by three modes: auto, Unitrans, and bicycles, whose shares are determined by the following multinomial logit choice model: Um = Bm 0.50C 0.02T where C is out-of-pocket cost (dollars) and T is travel time (minutes). Values of ẞm are: Auto: 4.50 Unitrans: 3.0 Bicycle: 2.50 Suppose that the cost of an auto trip, which takes 8 minutes, is $5.50 (includes parking); Unitrans, which takes 25 minutes, costs $1.00; bicycle trips take 12 minutes and cost $0.50 per trip.

Vehicles begin to arrive to a parking lot at 7:00 AM at a rate of 2000 veh/hour, but the demand reduces to 1000 veh/hour at 7:30 AM and continues at that rate. The ticketing booth to enter the parking lot can only serve the vehicles at 1000 veh/hour until 7:15 AM, after which the service rate increases to 2000 veh/hour. Assuming D/D/1 queuing, draw a queuing diagram for this situation. Find: a) the time at which the queue clears, b) the total delay, c) the longest queue length, and d) wait time of the 500th and 2000th vehicles to arrive to the parking lot (assuming FIFO conditions)?
to no congestion on the road further downstream of the railway grade crossing. QUESTION 5: Consider trip distribution within 5 zones in an area. The total trip production from zone 1 is 1000. The travel times from zone 1 to zones 2, 3, 4 and 5 are 5, 10, 20, and 30 minutes, respectively. The trip attraction to zones 2, 3, 4 and 5 are 50, 200, 75, and 450, respectively. Assume that the number of trips produced from zone 1 to zones 2, 3, 4 and 5 is inversely proportional to the inter-zonal travel time. (a) Estimate the number of trips from zone 1 to zones 2, 3, 4 and 5 using the gravity model. (b) Assume that the future trip production from zone I will increase to 1,250 and the future trip attraction to zones 2, 3, 4 and 5 will increase to 100, 225, 100, and 600, respectively. Predict the number of trips from zone 1 to zones 2, 3, 4 and 5. The inter-zonal travel times remain the same. (c) Compare the number of trips from zone 1 to each destination zone between (a) and (b).

Problem. At the train station. The operations manager have scheduled an outbound trips required to go to its place of destination. The vehicle can accommodate 90 passengers per vehicle. And there are three vehicles per train. Fifteen train sets its trip per hour. (Analyze the problem using a Block Diagram to solve the problem. This will serve as your visual aide in analyzing the train problem.) Required: 1. Determine the number of passengers who boarded the train in an hour. (How many commuters boarded the train in an hour?) 2. How many trips were made within an Hour? 3. Determine the train interval. This will serve as its scheduled trips in an Hour. 4. If the scheduled trips / operational hour will start from 6 am, and the last scheduled trip is 10 pm. How many commuters were transported presuming the train is 100 percent fully occupied.
