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.)

On a certain bus terminal, there are two terminals that can travels to the south. The number of passengers going to the south arriving in the terminal is 150 persons per minute, and the number of people can ride the bus is 100 per minute. Both arrival and departure rates can be assumed to be exponentially distributed. What is the probability having 0 ppassengers in the queue? a. 0.143b. 0.375c. 0.209d. 0.182
Question 1 a) The spot speeds and headways of vehicles are measured by two loop detectors on a single lane at location Y on a freeway. A sample of the observations is given below: Vehicle no. ii. 1 2 345 Travel time between loops (seconds) 0.90 0.81 0.92 0.75 1.03 nex nyt q Headway between vehicles (seconds) 3.60 3.14 4.00 3.50 3.72 9 = = =/=/30 S= i. If the loop detectors are spaced 20 meters apart, estimate the space mean speed and flow of the traffic stream. If it is known that the jam density (k;) on this section is 105 vehicles/km per lane, and that a linear speed-density relationship holds, what would you estimate the free-flow speed of the section to be? -110 Ehi n
