Chapter 5, Problem 53P
A theme park has a single entrance gate where visitors must stop and pay for parking. The average arrival rate during the peak hour is 150 veh/h and is Poisson distributed. It takes, on average, 20 seconds per vehicle (exponentially distributed) to pay for parking. What is the average waiting time for this queuing system?
a. 4.167 min/veh
b. 2.0 min/veh
c. 1.667 min/veh
d. 0.833 min/veh

There is a single gate at an entrance to a recreational
park where arriving vehicles must stop to pay their
tickets. 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 Longest
Vehicle Queue.
Note: Round off your answers to the nearest whole
number. Only include the numeric value of your answer
without the unit (i.e. 22).

The arrival rate at a parking lot is 6 veh/ min. Vehicles start arriving at 6:00 P. M., and when the queue reaches 36 vehicles, service begins. If company policy is that total vehicle delay should be equal to 540 veh-min, what is the service rate? (Assume D/ D/ 1 queuing and a constant service rate.)

- Vehicles begin to arrive to a parking lot at 7:00 AM at a rate of 2000 veh/hour, but the demand reduces to 1000 veh/hour at 7:30 AM and continues at that rate. The ticketing booth to enter the parking lot can only serve the vehicles at 1000 veh/hour until 7:15 AM, after which the service rate increases to 2000 veh/hour. Assuming D/D/1 queuing, draw a queuing diagram for this situation.

Ramp meter cycles vary with time as shown in the table. The metering scheme allows one vehicle to pass the signal.
