Question: For a two- way bus route, if the demand service is 250 passenger/hr and the route length is 20 km. The route is to be served by 30 seat buses with allow 15 standing passenger with average speed of 40 km/hr. Assuming that all the bus will reach to the destination and leave fully loaded. Also , the bus scheduled must be in 5 minutes increment. Calculate the number of buses required to serve this route ?
16. A bus line operates in mixed traffic and caries 4000 passengers per peak hour at an average speed
of 10 mi/h. Typically each bus makes two scheduled stops per mile and is interrupted by the traffic-
control system and other vehicles six times per mile. Given an average occupancy of 50 persons
per bus and a 5-mi trip, calculate the number of buses needed to serve the passenger demand and
the total amount of fuel consumed during a typical peak hour.
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.

- For this exercise, you are to design a roadway that is to carry 100,000 people a day (excluding truck occupants) – 50,000 in design direction. The vehicles that carry these people include; (1) personal vehicles (average occupancy of 1.2 people per car) 2-2 kip single axles, and (2) buses with 2-22 kip single axles (assume they are filled with an average of 40 passengers). There are also trucks on the roadway and all trucks have 1-40 kip triple axle, 1-32 kip tandem axle, and 1-8 kip single axle.

- 1) During morning peak hour, the average headway of UP-Katipunan jeepneys is estimated at 5 minutes. If the passenger demand during the same period is 240, determine whether there is a need to increase the number of jeepney units (or shorten the headway) for this route. Assume that passenger demand is evenly distributed within that period and the average load/occupancy is 14 passengers per jeepney. 2) During heavy traffic congestion, it was observed that the average spacing of vehicles in queue in the innermost lane in EDSA is 6.5m. Determine the jam density or density of stopped vehicles.arrow_forwardTwo routes connect a city and suburb. 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.
