Consider the following data: · Average number of vehicles (overtaking – overtaken) = 1 · Average number of vehicles during trips in opposite direction of traffic flow = 336 · Average journey time when test vehicle is travelling with the stream = 8 min 31 sec. · Average journey time when test vehicle is travelling against the stream = 7 min 24 sec. Average journey time for the above data is min.

A stop sign is installed in one of the road intersection. Rate of arival at a stop sign is 300 veh/hr and the average waiting time at the stop sign is 10 sec. per vehicle. If both arrivals and departures are exponentially distributed, determine the average queue length (in vehicles). Answer in whole number.

A stop sign is installed in one of the road intersection. Rate of arrival at a stop sign is 300 veh/hr and the average waiting time at the stop sign is 10 sec. per vehicle. If both arrivals and departures are exponentially distributed, determine the average queue length (in vehicles).
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.
A volume of 320 veh/h. Assume that the vehicle arrivals are Poisson distributed. What is the probability that the headway between successive vehicles will be less than 10 seconds. choices: 62.70%, 58.90%, 56.30%, 60.00%
Use 2 decimal places in your final 4. Route 1 has a free flow travel time of 10 minutes and the average travel time on this route increases by 3 minutes for every vehicle increase and Route 2 has a free flow travel time of 15 minutes and its average travel time increases by 2 minutes for every vehicle increase. Compare the results for UE and SO conditions with a flow rate is 12 veh/hr, determine the ff: Travel times on each route Traffic volumes on each route Total system travel time ■
