Chapter 5, Problem 42P
Vehicles begin to arrive at a parking lot at 7:45 A.M. at a constant rate of 4 veh/min and continue to arrive at that rate throughout the day. The parking lot opens at 8:00 A.M. and vehicles are processed at a constant rate of one vehicle every 10 seconds. Assuming D/D/1 queuing, what is the longest queue, the queue at 8:15 A.M., and the average delay per vehicle from 7:45 A.M. until the queue clears?

vehicles start to arrive at a parking area at 6 am with an arrival rate function(vehicles per minute) of lambda(t)=1.2+(0.3)t, where t is in minutes. At 6:15 am, the parking area opens and processed vehicles at a rate of 12 per minute.
a)Determine when does the queue clear?
b)find the total delay?
c)find the maximum queue length?
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)?
Vehicles begin to arrive at a park entrance at 7:45 A.M. at a constant rate of six per minute and at a constant rate of four vehicles per minute from 8:00 A.M. on. The park opens at 8:00 A.M. and the manager wants to set the departure rate so that the average delay per vehicle is no greater than 9 minutes (measured from the time of the first arrival until the total queue clears). Assuming D/D/1 queuing, what is the minimum departure rate needed to achieve this

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.

- C. There is a traffic accident happened on EDSA at 6:00 AM the flow rate on that time was 50 veh per min while the normal capacity of EDSA is 60 veh per min but since there is an accident, it reduced to 22 veh per min, the traffic was cleared after 25 minutes.
