Chapter 5, Problem 34P
Vehicles arrive at a recreational park booth at a uniform deterministic rate of 5 veh/min. If uniform deterministic processing of vehicles (collecting of fees) begins 20 minutes after the first arrival and the total delay is 3200 veh-min, how long after the arrival of the first vehicle will it take for the queue to be cleared?

9- Vehicles arrive at a recreational park booth at a uniform deterministic rate of 4veh/min. If uniform
deterministic processing of vehicles (collecting of fees) begins 30 minutes after the first arrival and
the total delay is 3600 veh-min, how long after the arrival of the first vehicle will it take for the queue
to be cleared?
Vehicles arrive at a single toll booth beginning at8:00 A.M. They arrive and depart according to a uniformdeterministic distribution. However, the toll booth doesnot open until 8:10 A.M. The average arrival rate is 8veh/min and the average departure rate is 10 veh/min.Assuming D/D/1 queuing, when does the initial queueclear and what are the total delay, the average delay pervehicle, longest queue length (in vehicles), and the waittime of the 100th vehicle to arrive (assuming first-infirst-out)?
