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.

Passenger car arrive at the stop sign at an average rate of 280 per hour. Average waiting time at the stop sign is 12 sec. If both arrivals and departure are exponentially distributed, what would be the average queue length in vehicles. Answer in whole number.
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 Length of Queue at 8:1OAM. Note: Round off your answers to the nearest whole number. Only include the numeric value of your answer without the unit (i.e. 22).

Answer must be in this format: *:**AM, minute time must be rounded off to the nearest whole number (i.e. 8:50AM)
The arrival rate at a parking lot is 6 veh/ min. Vehicles start arriving at 6:00 P. M., and when the queue reaches 36 vehicles, service begins. If company policy is that total vehicle delay should be equal to 540 veh-min, what is the service rate? (Assume D/ D/ 1 queuing and a constant service rate.)

QUESTION 1 3 booths, each of which can handle one vehicle every 6 second. a. If D/D/1 model is used, what is total service rate of the system? (you can express this in total vehicles that can be handled in 10 minutes) 6. Draw the queuing diagram (cumulative traffic volumes vs. time) with traffic upstream arriving volume and this service rate. C. Using the queuing diagram, determine the max queue, the longest delay to an individual vehicle and total delay (veh-min).

A ramp meter operates during the morning peak period. Ramp meter cycles vary with time as shown in the table. The metering scheme allows one vehicle to pass the signal. The table below gives the number of vehicles demanding service on the ramp during the particular time intervals, the cumulative demand for the ramp for the morning peak, the ram meter cycle for each interval. Using a queuing diagram, determine the maximum queue, the maximum delay to any vehicle, and the total delay in the system. draw a figure.
The arrival rate at a parking lot is 6 veh/min. Vehicles start arriving at 6:00 P.M., and when the queue reaches 36 vehicles, service begins. The company policy states that the total vehicle delay should be equal to 500 veh-min. Assuming D/D/1 queuing and a constant service rate, determine the average delay of any vehicle.
A stop sign is installed in one of the road intersection. Rate of arrival at a stop sign is 300 veh/hr and the average waiting time at the stop sign is 10 sec. per vehicle. If both arrivals and departures are exponentially distributed, determine the average queue length (in vehicles).
