PROBABILITY DISTRIBUTIONS

In a traffic study of a street in Ipswich, QLD, the following information was gathered.

- Cars passed by at an average rate of 300 cars per hour.

- The speed of the cars was normally distributed, with an average speed of 58 km/h and a variance of 2 km2/h2.

Based on this information, you are asked to solve the likelihoods of certain events happening. For each question clearly indicate the random variable and the distribution it follows, solve by hand and check your answer using MATLAB.

1. What is the probability that there is less than 10 seconds time difference between one car and the next?

2. What is the probability that more than 3 cars pass by in a minute?

3. The speed limit of the road is 60 km=h. What is the probability that a random car is speeding?

4. What is the probability that there are no speeding cars within a 10 minute period?

Design a sequential traffic light controller for the intersection of street A and street B. Each street has traffic sensors which detect the presence of vehicles approaching or stopped at intersection. Sa=1 means a vehicle is approaching on street A. Sb=1 means a vehicle is approaching on street B. There are 3 outputs of each streets RedA, YellowA and GreenA, RedB, YellowB, and GreenB. Condition: “StreetA” is a main street and has a green light for at least 50s, after...
