3. 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. Find: a) the time at which the queue clears, b) the total
delay, c) the longest queue length, and d) wait time of the 500th and 2000th vehicles to arrive
to the parking lot (assuming FIFO conditions)?

Expert Solution

D/D/1 queu analysis is done for linear arrival and service rate . To analyse this problem we have taken 15 minute interval to tabulate arrival and service and cummulative queu . The plot shows two diffrent arrival rates as well as the two different service rates. One these two curves intersect each other the queu at that instant of time becomes 0. See the solution. Hope it will help you. Although if there will be any doubt than ask in comment section. Thank you.

Vehicles begin to arrive at a parking lot at 6:00am at a rate of 8 per minute. Due to an accident on the access highway, no vehicles arrive from 6:20 to 6:30am. From 6:30am on, vehicles arrive at the rate of two per minute. The parking lot attendant processes incoming vehicles (collects parking fees) at the rate of four per minute throughout the day. Assuming D/D/1 queuing, draw a queuing (arrival-departure) diagram to present the events described and determine total...

At a facility’s loading dock, delivery vehicles arrive randomly, starting at 8:00 AM, at a rate of 2.0 per hour. If the dock is occupied by another vehicle, the driver must park in a waiting area until the dock is clear; this occurs with probability 0.20, independent of the time of day or other variables. Identify the family and parameter(s) of each of the following random variables (for instance, “Bernoulli(0.5)”). If it is not one of our “famous” families indicate...

Vehicles arrive at a toll both starting at 7:00 A.M. at a rate of λ(t) = 5.1 – 0.05t [with λ(t) in veh/min and t in minutes after 7:00 A.M.]. The first operator processes cars at a rate of 3 veh/minute 7:00 A.M. until 7:15 A.M when the person leaves because of illness. From 7:15 A.M to 7:25 A.M, no one is at the toll booth but a new operator arrives at 7:25 A.M and processes at a rate of...

At the end of a sporting event, vehicles begin leaving a parking lot at λ(t) = 12 − 0.25t and vehicles are processed at μ(t) = 2.5 + 0.5t [t is in minutes and λ(t) and μ(t) are in vehicles per minute]. Assuming D/D/1 queuing, determine the total vehicle delay, longest queue, and the wait time of the 50th vehicle to arrive assuming first-in-first-out and D/D/1 queuing. Answer:  total delay=1016.15 veh-min, Delay 50th veh=5.64 min, Max Q=60.167 veh

Cars arrive at a parking lot at a rate of 20 per hour. Assume that a Poisson process model is appropriate. Answer the following questions. No derivations are needed but justification of your answers are necessary. What assumptions are necessary to model the arrival of cars as a Poisson process? What is the expected number of cars that arrive between 10:00 a.m and 11:45 a. m? Suppose you walk into the parking lot at 10:15 a.m.; how long, on average,...

The police arrive at the crime scene at 9:00 AM. They immediately measure that the body temperature of the deceased is 83 F. After they finish gathering evidence, a process which took exactly one hour, they measure the body again and the temperature is 81,F. The room temperature is 68 F. When was the murder committed? (Assume his body temperature normally was 98, as opposed to 98.6.)

Vehicles arrive at a signalized intersection at a uniform rate of 900 veh/hr. The saturation flow rate for the intersection is 1200 veh/hr. However, a crash has reduced the saturation flow rate to only 300 veh/hr for a one-hour period. Assuming D/D/1 queuing, determine: a. How long will it take for the resulting queue to clear? (6 points) b. How much delay is experienced as compared to if the saturation flow rate had NOT been reduced? (6 points) c. What...

A commuter is accustomed to leaving his house between 7:30 and 8:00 AM, the drive to the station taking between 20 and 30 minutes. It is assumed that the departure time and length of trip are independent random variables, uniformly distributed over their respective intervals. There are two trains which he can take: the first leaves precisely at 8:05 AM and takes exactly 35 minutes for the trip, and the second leaves at 8:25 AM and takes 30 minutes. (a)...

J.S. is a 58-year-old female brought to the emergency department (ED) at 7:00 AM by her husband because when she got up this morning she was light-headed, confused, and so weak that she could not dress herself. J.S.’s husband immediately drove her to the ED in her pajamas. She has a history of rheumatoid arthritis and had been taking prednisone (Deltasone) 10 mg daily. Subjective Data Husband states that J.S. hasn’t been feeling good, has been tired, and has had...
