The average that the toll guy gives the change is 20 sec. But this depends if the driver is a beautiful girl. Given an average arrival rate of 150 veh/h arriving at an exponential rate, determine the average length in queue. (Hint: Use M/M/1 Queuing) O 5 veh 6 veh 7 veh 4 veh
Vehicles arrive at the entrance of the new extension of NLEX. There is a single toll gate at which all vehicles must stop where a toll attendant distribute a trip ticket. The toll opens at 6:00AM at which vehicles begin to arrive at the rate of 8 vehicles per minute. After 20 minutes, the arrival flow rate declines to 2 vehicles per minute and it continues at that level for the remainder of the day. If the time required to distribute the trip ticket is 15 seconds, determine the time the queue dissipates.
At the exit of a toll gate with a single booth, vehicles arrive at random at a rate of 20 vehicles per minute. The service has an average rate of 22 vehicles per minute. However, due to variable toll fees, the service is also random with an average rate of 22 vehicles per minute. Estimate average waiting time of vehicles O 0.45 0.35 O 0.65 0.55
The arrival rate at a parking lot is 6 veh/ min. Vehicles start arriving at 6:00 P. M., and when the queue reaches 36 vehicles, service begins. If company policy is that total vehicle delay should be equal to 540 veh-min, what is the service rate? (Assume D/ D/ 1 queuing and a constant service rate.)

At 9 am, vehicles arrive at a toll booth facility at the rate of 480 vehicles/hour. Initially, the toll booth is closed from 9:00 am until 9:15 am. Then it opens from 9:15 with a service rate of 600 vehicles/hour. Assuming D/D/1 queuing, determine: (1) At what time queue disappears? (2) What is the total delay? (3) What is the maximum Queue length? (4) What is the queue length at 10:00 am? (5) What is maximum delay? (6) What is the delay for 160th vehicle?
On a given day, 425 vehicles per hour arrive at the tollbooth located at the end of an off-ramp of the South Superhighway. If the vehicles can be serviced by only a single channel at the service rate of 625 vehicles per hour, determine the average number of vehicles in the system.
At the exit of a toll gate with a single booth, vehicles arrive at random at a rate of 20 vehicles per minute. The service has an average rate of 22 vehicles per minute. However, due to variable toll fees, the service is also random with an average rate of 22 vehicles per minute. Estimate average waiting time of vehicles Group of answer choices 0.35 0.65 0.45 0.55

After implementing service improvements to the mass transit, the mode split changed to 81.4% private automobile use and 18.6% mass transit use. Determine a value for the waiting time for the mass transit mode that reflects this shift in mode split.
At exactly 8:00 AM, vehicles start to enter a single toll gate at a rate of 8 veh/min following a deterministic distribution. Due to the teller being late, the toll booth opened at 8:10 AM having a service rate of 10 veh/min following a deterministic distribution. What is the Maximum Queue Length in the system? o 70 vehicles o 90 vehicles o 80 vehicles o 60 vehicles
Vehicles arrive according to a Poisson process (random arrival) to a parking lotwith mean arrival rate of 3 vehicles/min, and are processed (they pay parking fee) at a Poisson process(random Departure) rate of 240 vehicles/hour.(1) What type of queuing is this problem?D/D/1 M/D/1 M/M/1(2) What is the traffic intensity?(3) Determine (I) the average waiting time and (II) the average length of the que
