The gate entrance to a park opens at 8:00 AM and there are 18 vehicles in the queue waiting to enter. Vehicles continue to arrive (from 8:00 AM onward) at a constant rate of 8 veh/min. The gate attendant processes vehicles at a constant rate of 1 vehicle every 6 seconds. Assume D/D/1 queuing for the vehicle arrival and departure processes at this gate. What is the average delay per vehicle (min/veh) from 8:00 AM until the queue clears? 0.9 1.1 4.5 9 Ο Ο 81
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?
1. Estimate the queue dissipation time, maximum queue length, and total delay, given: Time Arrival Rate (veh/hour/lane) Departure Rate (veh/hour/lane) 3:30 4:00 PM 4:00 8:00 PM 3:00 - 3:30 PM 1200 1800 1200 1200 900 1800
delay? 4. The gate entrance to a park opens at 9:00 A.M. At 9:00 A.M. there are 32 vehicles in the queue waiting to enter. Vehicles continue to arrive (from 9:00 A.M. onward) at a rate of X(t) = 4.2-0.05t (with X(t) in veh/min and t in minutes after 9:00 A.M.). The gate attendant processes vehicles at a rate of u(t) = 3 + 0.3t [with u(t) in veh/min and t in minutes after 9:00 A.M.]. Assuming D/D/1 queuing, what is the maximum queue length and total vehicle delay from 9:00 A.M. onward? A.20 mph nohor
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. Determine the length of the queue before the removal of blockage. Also calculate the time that vehicles waited a long line before the removal of blockage and when was the queue cleared?
Vehicles arrive at an entrance to a recreational park. There is a single gate (at which all vehicles must stop), where a park attendant distributes a free brochure. The park opens at 8:00 A.M., the average arrival rate be 240 veh/h and Poisson distributed (exponential times between arrivals) over the entire period from park opening time (8:00 A.M.) until closing at dusk. If the time required to distribute the brochure is 10 seconds, the distribution time varies depending on whether park patrons have questions relating to park operating policies, assuming M/M/1 queuing. a.) Compute the average length of queue (express in veh), b.) Average waiting time in the queue (express in min/veh), c.) and average time spent in the system(express in min/veh)
The Arrival time of vehicles at the entrance of a baseball stadium has a mean value of 30 veh/ hr. If it takes 1.5 min for the issuance of parking tickets to be bought for occupants of each car. a.) Determine the expected length of queue , not including the vehicle being served. b.) What will be the average waiting time of a vehicle in the queue in min.?
9- Vehicles arrive at a recreational park booth at a uniform deterministic rate of 4veh/min. If uniform deterministic processing of vehicles (collecting of fees) begins 30 minutes after the first arrival and the total delay is 3600 veh-min, how long after the arrival of the first vehicle will it take for the queue to be cleared?

7. Queue Theory: At the end of a sporting event, vehicles begin leaving a parking lot at 2(1) = 12 - 0.25t and vehicles are processed at u(t) = 2.5 + 0.5t (t is in minutes and 2(t) and u(t) are in vehicles per minute). Assume D/D/1 determine: Time when queue clears and total vehicle delay.
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 Length of Queue at 8:1OAM. Note: Round off your answers to the nearest whole number. Only include the numeric value of your answer without the unit (i.e. 22).
