Propagation speed of 45 km/hr and that each toll booth takes 6 seconds to service a car. Suppose the caravan of 10 cars begins immediately in front of the first toll booth, travels 20 km to a second toll booth, then another 40 km to a third toll booth, and finally stops immediately after the third tool booth. Thus, they travel a total of 60 km. What is the total end to-end delay?

2.) Queuing Theory: At a single toll booth, you were able to observe an average vehicle arrival rate of 10 vehicles per minute starting from 7:00 AM. 30 minutes later, average vehicle arrival rate has become 4 vehicles per minute and continues throughout the day at that rate. If the toll booth is able to process one vehicle every 10 seconds, how many minutes after 7:00 AM will the first queue clear up? What is the longest queue length, expressed in number of vehicles? Assume a D/D/1 queuing model.
At exactly 8:00 AM, vehicles start to enter a single toll gate at a rate of 8 veh/min following a deterministic distribution. Due to the teller being late, the toll booth opened at 8:10 AM having a service rate of 10 veh/min following a deterministic distribution. What is the Maximum Queue Length in the system? o 70 vehicles o 90 vehicles o 80 vehicles o 60 vehicles
In this problem, assume a propagation speed of 45 km/hr and that each toll booth takes 6 seconds to service a car. Suppose the caravan of 10 cars begins immediately in front of the first toll booth, travels 20 km to a second toll booth, then another 40 km to a third toll booth, and finally stops immediately after the third tool booth. Thus, they travel a total of 60 km. What is the total endto-end delay?
At 10 am, vehicles arrive at a toll booth facility at the rate of 480vehicles/hour. Initially, the toll booth is closed from 10:00 am until 10:15 am. Then it opens from 10:15with a service rate of 6 seconds per vehicle. Assuming D/D/1 queuing, determine:(1) At what time queue disappears? (2) What is the total delay? (3) What is the maximum Queuelength? (4) What is the queue length at 10:00 am? (5) What is maximum delay? (6) What is thedelay for the 140th and 170th vehicle?
Vehicles arrive at a toll bridge at a rate of 420 veh/h (the time between arrivals is exponentially distributed). Two toll booths are open and each can process arrivals (collect tolls) at a mean rate of 12 seconds per vehicle (the processing time is also exponentially distributed). What is the total time spent in the system by all vehicles in a 1-hour period? Final Answer should be: 164.706 min
At the exit of a toll gate with a single booth, vehicles arrive at random at a rate of 20 vehicles per minute. The service has an average rate of 22 vehicles per minute. However, due to variable toll fees, the service is also random with an average rate of 22 vehicles per minute. Estimate average waiting time of vehicles Group of answer choices 0.35 0.65 0.45 0.55
A theme park has a single entrance gate where visitors must stop and pay for parking. The average arrival rate during the peak hour is 150 veh/h and is Poisson distributed. It takes, on average, 18 seconds per vehicle (exponentially distributed) to pay for parking. What is the average time in the system for this queuing system in minutes/veh? Answer in one-decimal place
Vehicles arrive at a toll booth with a mean arrival rate of 2 veh/min (the time between arrivals is exponentially distributed). The toll booth operator processes vehicles (collect tolls) at a uniform deterministic rate of one every 20 seconds. What is the average length of queue (in vehicles), time spent in the system and waiting time spent in the queue?

Vehicles arrive at a toll system at random at an average rate of 12 vehicles per minute. If there are 2 tollbooths each at random at an average of 6 seconds after services are done for every vehicle at the tollsystem, calculate the following:1. Queuing characteristics2. If one toll ticket booth is closed and service time is reduced by 3 seconds, what are theQueuing characteristics?3. Plot the arrival distribution curve for the traffic conditions stated above.
Note: Read the question carefully and give me BOTH right solutions with clear calculations. Vehicles begin to arrive at a toll booth at 5 vehicles per minute from 7 AM to 8 AM. The booth opens at 7:15 AM and services at a rate of 3 vehicles per minute until 7:45 AM. From 7:45 AM until 8 AM the service rate is 6 vehicles per minute. Assuming D/D/1 queuing, (A) have all vehicles that arrived between 7AM and 8AM exited the queue? and (B) what is the total vehicle delay while the queue exists?
