1.) 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 08:00 am, at which time vehicles begin to arrive at a rate of 480 veh/hr. after
20 minutes the arrival flow rate declines at 120 veh/hr, and it continues at that level
for the remainder of the day. If the time required to distribute the brochure is 15
seconds and assuming D/D/1 queue,
a. Determine the maximum length of queue that occurred.
b. How long did it take to dissipate the queue?
c. What is the average delay per vehicle?
Show all necessary solutions and diagram

2.) Consider the entrance to the recreational park described in the previous question.
However, assuming that the average arrival rate is 180 veh/hr and Poisson-distributed
(negative exponential times between arrivals) over the entire period from park opening
time, 08:00 am until closing at dusk. Compute
a. The average length of queue
b. Average waiting time in the queue
c. Average time spent in the system

Between 4:00PM and 6:00PM the vehicles arrive to the entrance ramp of a regional toll road at a constant rate of 1740 vehicles per hour. The toll plaza at the entrance ramp has five toll booths, which combined can process up to 34 vehicles per minute. At 4:30PM one of the toll booths is disabled due to electronics malfunction, which reduces the vehicle processing capacity of the toll plaza to 27 vehicles per minute. At 5:00 PM the toll booth...

Question 1 A camera is located 3km away from the entrance gate of a port to count the number of incoming trucks. Trucks that have passed the camera but have not passed the gate are considered to be in the queueing system, in which some trucks are waiting to be serviced by the gate and the other trucks are being serviced by the gate. If truck A passes the camera before truck B, it will pass the gate no later...

Fortunately, you quickly move back into the bike lane and continue toward Ocean Beach. This scenario is a metaphor for homeostasis, where the controlled condition (physiologic variable) is the position of the bike on the road (e.g., inside or outside the bike lane). Identify: (a) The established set point for the controlled condition (b) The...

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...

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,...
