At a specified point on a highway, vehicles are known to arrive according to a Poissonprocess. Vehicles are counted in 30-second intervals, and vehicle counts are taken in 120 ofthese time intervals. It is noted that no cars arrive in 18 of these 120 intervals. a) Approximate the number of these 120 intervals in which exactly three cars arrive. b) Estimate the Percentage of time headways that will be 10 seconds or greater andthose that will be less than 6 seconds.
Consider the following plot of cumulative arriving and departing vehicles at a freeway bottleneck location: Vehicles 20,000 15,000 10,000 5,000 0 0 30 60 90 120 150 180 210 240 270 300 330 360 Time (mins) Arrivals (vehs) Departures (vehs) From this plot, determine the following: A. What is the capacity of the bottleneck location? 9000 whole number, i.e. X000.) B. What is the maximum size of the queue that develops? 3250 whole number, i.e. X000.) C. What is the longest wait time that any vehicle experiences during the breakdown? to the nearest whole number, i.e. XX.)

The daily counts of the current traffic volume for a rural highway for one week of May 2000 are as shown in the following table: Sat. Sun. Mon. Tues. Wed. Thur. Fri. Day Daily volume 12000 12500 10500 11500 9500 9000 8500 The traffic is composed of 70% passenger car, 20% bus, 10% truck. The percent of future traffic to current traffic is predicted to be 180% up to May 2020. Determine the required number of lanes for this highway if the lane capacity is 1300 pc/hr.
A mode choice logit model is to be developed based on the following information. A surveyof travellers in an area with bus service found the following data:Model Parameter Auto BusX1, waiting time (min.) 0 10X2, travel time (min.) 20 35X3, parking time (min.) 5 0X4, out-of-pocket cost (cents) 225 100Ak, calibration constant _0.33 _0.27The following utility functions were calibrated based on an observed mode split of 84.9%private auto use and 15.1% bus use.Utility function: Uk = Ak -- 0.10 X1 - 0.13 X2 - 0.12 X3 - 0.0045 X4After implementing service improvements to the buses, the mode split changed to 81.6%private auto use and 18.4% bus use. Determine a value for the calibration constant for the busmode that reflects this shift in mode split.
