MY NOTES
ASK YOUR TEACHER
Through the Walla Walla Road to the entrance of the E-1 parking lot at the University of Washington, vehicles begin to
arrive from 7:40 A.M. at a uniform deterministic rate of 480 vph until 8:20 A.M. and from then on at 120 vph. It takes 10
seconds for a vehicle to go through the paying process at the gate. If the parking lot is open at 8:00 A.M., determine
(a) when the queue will dissipate, (b) the total delay, (c) the average delay, (d) the maximum queue length (in vehicles),
and (e) the longest vehicle delay under FIFO. Show your results graphically.

- 16. A bus line operates in mixed traffic and caries 4000 passengers per peak hour at an average speed of 10 mi/h. Typically each bus makes two scheduled stops per mile and is interrupted by the traffic- control system and other vehicles six times per mile. Given an average occupancy of 50 persons per bus and a 5-mi trip, calculate the number of buses needed to serve the passenger demand and the total amount of fuel consumed during a typical peak hour.arrow_forwardVehicles arrive at an entrance to a recreational park. There is a single gate (at which all vehicles must stop), where a park attendant distributes free brochures. The park opens at 8:00 AM. At which vehicles begin to arrive at a rate of 480 veh/h. After 20 minutes, the arrival flow rate declines to 120 veh/h and corrtinues at that level for the remainder of the day.

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 OOarrow_forward
