Concept explainers

Quantity takeoff

Quantity takeoffs (QTO) are precise estimates of the materials and labor costs required to finish a construction project. During the pre-construction phase, an estimator prepares them, breaking down the project into smaller, more manageable parts that are easier to evaluate. These measurements are used to prepare a construction scope bid. Estimators examine the drawings, specifications, and models to figure out different quantities and their costs. Since, the components, their quantity, and price are all included in the model, quantity take-off can be done automatically using Building Information Modelling (BIM). The time taken for completing a construction project can be reduced by the use of quantity takeoff. These takeoffs are also called material takeoffs and construction takeoffs.

Answer questions 13, 14, 15 and 16 using the following paragraph: Vehicles arrive at the carpark of an airport. Vehicles have to queue at the single entrance gate of the carpark at 9:00 AM. The arrival rate is constant at 240 veh/hr. However, between 9:00 and 9:40 AM, the parking ticket machine at the entrance works slowly due to a malfunction, and consequently, each vehicle spends 30 seconds to take the parking ticket. After 9:40 AM, the problem is solved and vehicles spend only 10 seconds at the gate to take the ticket. What is the longest vehicle queue? Select one: a.70 b.64 c.80 d.20 OO
The Arrival time of vehicles at the entrance of a baseball stadium has a mean value of 30 veh/ hr. If it takes 1.5 min for the issuance of parking tickets to be bought for occupants of each car. a.) Determine the expected length of queue , not including the vehicle being served. b.) What will be the average waiting time of a vehicle in the queue in min.?
1. Estimate the queue dissipation time, maximum queue length, and total delay, given: Time Arrival Rate (veh/hour/lane) Departure Rate (veh/hour/lane) 3:30 4:00 PM 4:00 8:00 PM 3:00 - 3:30 PM 1200 1800 1200 1200 900 1800
The gate entrance to a park opens at 8:00 AM and there are 18 vehicles in the queue waiting to enter. Vehicles continue to arrive (from 8:00 AM onward) at a constant rate of 8 veh/min. The gate attendant processes vehicles at a constant rate of 1 vehicle every 6 seconds. Assume D/D/1 queuing for the vehicle arrival and departure processes at this gate. What is the average delay per vehicle (min/veh) from 8:00 AM until the queue clears? 0.9 1.1 4.5 9 Ο Ο 81
Traffic volume data has been collected for 10 min time intervals as shown below, Find the total hourly volume, flow rate and PHF. Time 7:30-7:40 7:40-7:50 7:50-8:00 8:00-8:10 8:10-8:20 8:20-8:30 Volume 250 280 300 200 150 130
Vehicles begin to arrive to a parking lot at 7:00 AM at a rate of 2000 veh/hour, but the demand reduces to 1000 veh/hour at 7:30 AM and continues at that rate. The ticketing booth to enter the parking lot can only serve the vehicles at 1000 veh/hour until 7:15 AM, after which the service rate increases to 2000 veh/hour. Assuming D/D/1 queuing, draw a queuing diagram for this situation. Find: a) the time at which the queue clears, b) the total delay, c) the longest queue length, and d) wait time of the 500th and 2000th vehicles to arrive to the parking lot (assuming FIFO conditions)?
Vehicles arrive at an entrance to a recreational park. There is a single gate (at which all vehicles must stop), where a park attendant distributes a free brochure. The park opens at 8:00 A.M., the average arrival rate be 240 veh/h and Poisson distributed (exponential times between arrivals) over the entire period from park opening time (8:00 A.M.) until closing at dusk. If the time required to distribute the brochure is 10 seconds, the distribution time varies depending on whether park patrons have questions relating to park operating policies, assuming M/M/1 queuing. a.) Compute the average length of queue (express in veh), b.) Average waiting time in the queue (express in min/veh), c.) and average time spent in the system(express in min/veh)
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 Longest Vehicle Queue. Note: Round off your answers to the nearest whole number. Only include the numeric value of your answer without the unit (i.e. 22).
