Concept explainers

Capacity and Level of Service at Intersections

The term capacity is associated with transportation engineering. Capacity helps to understand how many pedestrians or vehicles can be handled by a transport facility. Level of service is also a term associated with transportation engineering. The level of service indicates the performance of the transport facility.

Question 4 Vehicles begin to arrive at a border gate at 06h50 with a deterministic arrival rate of λ (t) = 5.2 - 0.01t (λ is in vehicles per minute and t in minutes after 06h50). However, the gate opens at 07h00 and serves vehicles at a rate of μµ(t) =3.3 + 2.4t (with t in minutes after 07h00 and u in vehicles per minute). Once the service rate reaches 10 vehicles per minute, it stays at that level for the rest of the day. ● ● Illustrate the operational characteristics of the vehicle queue-delay on a (cumulative) vehicle-Time graph. When will the queue that forms be dissipated? What will be the maximum queue length? Determine the total delay.
This a highway design course and the books ISBN:13-978-0-495-43853-3. It is just like example 5.4 please help quick. MY HW IS DUE IN THE NEXT HOUR.
A segment of eight-lane urban freeway experiences a breakdown that blocks two lanes completely for a period of one hour in the peak direction. The breakdown occurs at 9:00 AM and is cleared by 10:00 AM. The capacity of the segment is 2,100 veh/h/In, with a maximum queue discharge rate of 1,800 veh/h/ln. Beginning at 9 AM, the traffic demand at this location is: 9:00 AM-10:00 AM 8,400 veh/h 10:00 AM-11:00 AM 8,000 veh/h 11:00 AM-12:00 Noon 7,000 veh/h After 12:00 Noon 6,000 veh/h 1. What is the maximum queue size that will form in this scenario? 2. At what time does the stable capacity value resume?
