Commuters choose auto or bus for their trips. The utility function for each travel mode was
calibrated as follows:
where
V=C-0.10* X₁ -0.13* X₂-0.12 X3-0.0045 X4
*
V = observable utilities;
C = constant;
X₁ = waiting time (min);
X₂ = travel time (min);
X3 = parking time (min);
X₁ = out-of-pocket cost (cents).
The values of the parameters in the above utility function for each mode are shown below.

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
