Question 2A group of 1000 people were surveyed about their preferredmethod of travel for a particular route. The following observationswere made:- Car was the most preferred method of travel, giving three times asmuch Utility as its nearest competitor- Walking was given a utility 0.15 points lower than buses- Buses were determined to gain an average utility of 0.1 for theroute- Trains' utility were rated twice as high as busesBased on this information, how many people would we expect todrive this route on any given day? (Round to the nearest integer)O 7061000292357

Lets consider Bus utility as 'x' Bus = x = 0.1 Utility = 1000x0.1 =100 Train = 2 times bus = 2x =0.2…

Answered: Based on this information, how many…

A simple work-mode-choice model is estimated from data in a small urban area to determine the probabilities of individual travelers selecting various modes. The mode choices include automobile drive-alone (DL), automobile shared-ride (SR), and bus (B), and the utility functions are estimated as: UDL = 2.2-0.2(costp)-0.03(travel timepz) USR 0.8 – 0.2(costsR) – 0.03(travel timesR) Us = -0.2(costa)- 0.01(travel time,) where cost is in dollars and time is in minutes. Between a residential area and an industrial complex, 4000 workers (generating vehicle-based trips) depart for work during the peak hour. For all workers, the cost of driving an automobile is $6.00 with a travel time of 20 minutes, and the bus fare is $1.00 with a travel time of 25 minutes. If the shared-ride option always consists of two travelers sharing costs equally, how many workers will take each mode?
The total number of trips from ABC to XYC is 4500. All of the trips are made using car. The government proposed two alternatives, a train or a bus. The utility is given by the equation: U = -0.05(TT) - 0.04(WT) - 0.07(W) - 0.2(F) - 0.2(P) TT = in-vehicle travel time WT - walking time to terminal W - waiting time F- fare P- parking cost The travel time for private car is 30 minutes, 35 for bus and 17 for train. Walking time for different terminals for bus and train is 8 and 14 minutes respectively. The waiting time is 6 and 5 minutes for bus and train respectively, and the fare for car, bus and train is at $22, $8 and $6 dollars respectively. Parking cost for car is $6.

A household has 17 members and an annual income of P20,000. They currently live in a neighborhood with 550 retail employees, but are moving to a new home in a neighborhood with 150 retail employees. Calculate the additional vehicle-based peak- hour shopping trips the household makes before and after the move. Use: Vehicle-based Shopping Trips = 0.12 + 0.09HS + 0.011AHI - 0.15EH HS - household size AHI - annual household income in thousand pesos EH - employment in household's neighborhood in hundreds Note: use two decimal places
A work-mode-choice model is developed from data acquired in the field in order to determine the probabilities of individual travelers selecting various modes. The mode choices include automobile drive alone (DL), automobile shared-ride(SR), and bus (B). The utility functions are estimated as: UDL = 2.6 – 0.3(costDL) – 0.02(travel time DL) USR = 0.7 – 0.3(costSR) – 0.04(travel time SR) UB = –0.3(costB) – 0.01(travel time B) where cost is in dollars and time is in minutes. The cost of driving an automobile is $5.50 with a travel time of 21 minutes, while the bus fare is $1.25 with a travel time of 27 minutes. How many people will use the shared-ride mode from a community of 4500 workers, assuming the shared-ride option always consists of three individuals sharing costs equally?
The city public transportation authority manages and maintains the regular bus service. If the origin-destination (OD) trips are 10,000 person-trips per day, a) If private auto and regular bus are two irrelevant travel modes, use binary logit model to determine the fare-box revenue of the regular buses given the following utility function. uk = ak — 0.003 X₁ – 0.04 X₂ 1 where: X₁ is travel cost in cents, X₂ is travel time in minutes ak, modal constant X, (in cents) X₂ (in minutes) -0.20 120 30 Auto (A) Regular Bus (B) -0.60 30 55
Average demand on a rural roadway ranges from zero to 600 veh/day when the cost per trip goes from $1.75 to zero. (a) Calculate the net user benefits per year (in dollars) if the cost decreases from $1.50 to $0.75/trip (assume a linear demand function). $ 29 x Your response is within 10% of the correct value. This may be due to roundoff error, or you could have a mistake in your calculation. Carry out all intermediate results roundoff error. (b) Compare the value calculated in (a) with the benefits as calculated in typical highway studies. (Enter the benefits in dollars as calculated in typical highway studies.) $ 88000 x Your response is within 10% of the correct value. This may be due to roundoff error, or you could have a mistake in your calculation. Carry out all intermediate results E roundoff error.
Problem- A transportation trip survey was undertaken between private car, and public car transportation. The proportion of those using private cars is 0.45. While using the public transport, the further choices available are Metro Rail and Mono Rail, out of which commuting by a Mono Rail has a proportion of 0.55. In such a situation, the choice of interest in using a Metro Rail, Mono Rail and private car would be respectively.
A model for non-work related trips has been developed by the Texas Department of Transportation for Wheeler, Texas. The model is based on the number of trips per household: Number of peak-hour vehicle-based social trips per household = 0.04+0.018*(household size) + 0.009*(annual household income in thousands of dollars) + 0.16*(number of nonworking household members) For the northeast section of Wheeler, the average household has six members and an annual income of $50,000. If each household has one working member, how many peak-hour social trips are predicted?

Tourists arrive at the Manila Zoo at a rate of 250 vehicles per hour. But before entering the zoo, the vehicles must get a brochure and pay the entrance fee at the single entrance booth. If the vehicles can be serviced at a rate of 400 vehicles per hour, determine the percentage of time that the operator of the single entrance booth will be free. Note: Round off your answers to the nearest thousandths. Only include the numeric value of your answer without the unit (i.e. 0.123).
