At a specified point on a highway, vehicles are known to arrive according to a Poisson process. Vehicles are counted in 20-second intervals, and vehicle counts are taken in 120 of these time intervals. It is noted that no cars arrive in 18 of these 120 intervals. Approximate the number of these 120 intervals in which exactly three cars arrive. Wrong answers will be downvoted read question carefully
The time between arrivals of vehicles at a particular intersection follows an exponential probability distribution with a mean of 14 seconds. A. What is the probability that the arrival time between vehicles is 12 seconds or less (to 4 decimals)? B. What is the probability that the arrival time between vehicles is 6 seconds or less (to 4 decimals)? C. What is the probability of 30 or more seconds between vehicle arrivals (to 4 decimals)?

Two observers have determined that the time headways between successive vehicles are exponentially distributed and that 70% of the headways are 8s or greater. If one of observer decides to count traffic in 40s intervals, and the other in 35s intervals, estimate the probability of each observer counting 5 or more vehicles in their own intervals?
. A traffic enforcer counts the number of vehicles at a specific location in the highway. In hiscounting, there are 420 vehicles arrived in span of 1 hour. Assuming that the arrival of vehicles isPoisson distributed, estimate the probabilities of having 7 or more vehicles arriving over a 30-secondtime interval

At a specified point on a highway, vehicles are known to arrive according to a Poisson process. Vehicles are counted in 20-second s are intervals, and vehicle counts are taken in 120 of these time intervals. It is noted that no cars arrive in 18 of these 120 intervals. Approximate the number of these 120 intervals in which exactly three cars arrive.

Vehicles arriving at an intersection from one of the approach roads follow the Poisson distribution. The mean rate of arrival is 900 vehicles per hour. If a gap is defined as the time difference between two successive vehicle arrivals (with vehicles assumed to be points), the probability (up to four decimal places) that the gap is greater than 8 seconds is
1 Which of these statements are always true? 1. Fully actuated signals are better than pre- timed fixed signals. 2. Traffic flow becomes random upon approaching an intersection when volume is low. 3. Traffic flow becomes random upon approaching an intersection when the distance between two intersections is significantly long enough. 4. Programs of many sets of parameters are better than a program of single set of parameters to suit different traffic flow demand.' O 1, 2 2,3 3, 4 2, 3, 4 1, 2, 3 All of 1, 2, 3, 4 None of 1, 2, 3, 4
Consider the following data: · Average number of vehicles (overtaking - overtaken) = 1 • Average number of vehicles during trips in opposite direction of traffic flow = 336 · Average journey time when test vehicle is travelling with the stream = 8 min 31 sec. · Average journey time when test vehicle is travelling against the stream = 7 min 24 sec. Average journey time for the above data is min. %3D
