Cars have a long queue at a stop sign. If the total time delay queueing is one min., compute the traffic intensity if the service rate of the road is only 360 veh/ hr. Assume both arrival and departure rates are exponentially distributed.
There is a single gate at an entrance to a recreational park where arriving vehicles must stop to pay their tickets. The park opens at 8:00AM, at which time vehicles begin to arrive at a rate of 480 veh/hr. After 20 minutes the arrival flow rate declines to 120 veh/hr, and it continues at that level for the remainder of the day. If the service time is 15 seconds per vehicle, and assuming D/D/1 queuing, determine the Length of Queue at 8:1OAM. Note: Round off your answers to the nearest whole number. Only include the numeric value of your answer without the unit (i.e. 22).

If the service time is 15 seconds per vehicle, and assuming D/D/1 queuing, determine the time that the queue will dissipate. Answer must be in this format: *:**AM, minute time must be rounded off to the nearest whole number (i.e. 8:50AM)
4- Vehicles begin to arrive at a toll booth at 7:50 A.M. with an arrival rate A(t) = 5.2-0.01t (with t in minutes and A(t) in vehicles per minute). The toll booth opens at 8 :00 A.M. and serves vehicles at a rate of, u(tt)%=3.3+2.4t (with t in minutes after 8:00 A.M and u(t) in vehicles per minute). Once the service rate reaches 10 veh/min, it stays at that level for the rest of the day. If queuing is D/D/1, when will the queue that formed at 7:50 A.M. be cleared?
3-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 500 veh min, what is the departure rate? (Assume D/D/1 queuing and a constant service rate.)
The uniform arrival and uniform service rates observed on an approach road to a signalized intersection are 20 and 50 vehicles/minutes, respectively. For this signal, the red time is 30 s, the effective green time is 30 s, and the cycle length is 60s. Assuming that initially there are no vehicles in the queue, the average delay per vehicle using the approach road during a cycle length (in seconds, round off to 2 decimal places) is
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. The company policy states that the total vehicle delay should be equal to 500 veh-min. Assuming D/D/1 queuing and a constant service rate, determine the average delay of any vehicle.
An approach to a pretimed signal has 25 seconds of effective green. The approach volume is 500 veh/h and the saturation flow rate is 1400 veh/h. If the average vehicle delay is 20 seconds assuming D/D/1 queuing, determine the cycle length (in seconds). Round off the final answer to whole number (no units).
The average queue length at the intersection of the two roads with a stop sign is 4 vehicles. If the arrival rate of vehicles at the stop sign is 300 veh/hr, determine the service rate of the road in veh/hr. Assume both arrival and departure rates are exponentially distributed.
An expressway off-ramp consisting of a single lane leads directly to a tollbooth. The rate of arrival of vehicles at the expressway can be considered to be Poisson with a 6-24 www.Civil08.com - The Download Monster Chapter 6 Fundamental Principles of Traffic Flow 263 mean of 50 veh/h, and the rate of service to vehicles can be assumed to be exponen- tially distributed with a mean of 1 min. (a) What is the average number of vehicles waiting to be served at the booth (that is, the number of vehicles in queue, not including the vehicle being served)? (b) What is the length of the ramp required to provide storage for all exiting vehicles 85% of the time? Assume the average length of a vehicle is 20 ft and that there is an average space of 5 ft between consecutive vehicles waiting to be served. (c) What is the average waiting time a driver waits before being served at the toll- booth (that is, the average waiting time in the queue)?
In signal design as per Indian Roads Congress specifications, if the sum of the ratios of normal flows to saturation flow of two directional traffic flow is 0.50 and the total lost time is 10 seconds, the optimum cycle length in seconds is A 100 B 80 C 60 40
