Answer questions 13, 14, 15 and 16 using the following paragraph: Vehicles arrive at the carpark of an airport. 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 OO

Through the Walla Walla Road to the entrance of the E-1 parking lot at the University of Washington, vehicles begin to arrive from 7:40 A.M. at a uniform deterministic rate of 480 vph until 8:20 A.M. and from then on at 120 vph. It takes 10 seconds for a vehicle to go through the paying process at the gate. If the parking lot is open at 8:00 A.M., determine (a) when the queue will dissipate, (b) the total delay, (c) the average delay, (d) the maximum queue length (in vehicles), and (e) the longest vehicle delay under FIFO.
