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 ?

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).

4. Two busses start at the same time towards each other from terminals A and B, 8 km apart. The time needed for the bus to travel A to B is 8 minutes, and of the second bus from B to A is 10 minutes. How much is the time needed by each bus to meet each if they travelled at their respective uniform speeds?

- 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.

- In order to facilitate passenger transport, an express bus system is to be set up between AIT Campus and Kwame Nkrumah Interchange at a distance of 13.73 miles. The operating time is expected to be half an hour. The estimated peak demand is 3500 passengers/hr. The available buses have a seating capacity of 35 and space for 25 standees. Given a terminal time of quarter hour, determine the departures per hour and number of buses that will be required to serve the passenger demand.arrow_forwardThe 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 540 veh-min, what is the service rate?
