to no congestion on the road further downstream of the railway grade crossing. QUESTION 5: Consider trip distribution within 5 zones in an area. The total trip production from zone 1 is 1000. The travel times from zone 1 to zones 2, 3, 4 and 5 are 5, 10, 20, and 30 minutes, respectively. The trip attraction to zones 2, 3, 4 and 5 are 50, 200, 75, and 450, respectively. Assume that the number of trips produced from zone 1 to zones 2, 3, 4 and 5 is inversely proportional to the inter-zonal travel time. (a) Estimate the number of trips from zone 1 to zones 2, 3, 4 and 5 using the gravity model. (b) Assume that the future trip production from zone I will increase to 1,250 and the future trip attraction to zones 2, 3, 4 and 5 will increase to 100, 225, 100, and 600, respectively. Predict the number of trips from zone 1 to zones 2, 3, 4 and 5. The inter-zonal travel times remain the same. (c) Compare the number of trips from zone 1 to each destination zone between (a) and (b).

hree routes connect an origin and a destination with performance functions: ?1=8+0.5?1; ?2=1+2?2; and ?3=3+0.75?3; with the x’s being the traffic volume expressed in thousands of vehicles per hour and t’s being the travel time expressed in minutes. If the peak hour traffic demand is 3400 vehicles, determine user equilibrium traffic flows. [Hint: Note that one of the paths will not be used under the equilibrium condition
1. Planners have estimated the following models for the AM Peak Hour T₁ = 1.5 H₁ T; - (1.5 Euj1) + (1 Euthy) + (0.5 Eretj) Where: T - Person Trips Originating in Zone i T₁ = Person Trips Destined for Zone j H Esti Eath Eret Variable 10000 8000 3000 2000 Data Dakotopolis 15000 10000 5000 1500 New Fargo A. What are the number of person trips originating in and destined for each city? B. Normalize the number of person trips so that the number of person trip origins = the number of person trip destinations. Assume the model for person trip origins is more accurate.
In order to facilitate passenger transport, an express bus system is to be set up between AIT Campus and Kwame Nkrumah Interchange at a distance of 13.73 miles. The operating time is expected to be half an hour.The estimated peak demand is 3500 passengers/hr. The available buses have a seating capacity of 35 and space for 25 standees. Given a terminal time of quarter hour, i) determine the departures per hour and number of buses that will berequired to serve the passenger demand.
8.25 Two routes connect an origin and destination with performance functions t₁ = 5 + 3x₁ and t₂ = 7+ X2, with t's in minutes and x's in thousands of vehicles per hour. Total origin-destination demand is 7000 vehicles in the peak hour. What are user- equilibrium and system-optimal route flows and total travel times?
Problem. At the train station. The operations manager have scheduled an outbound trips required to go to its place of destination. The vehicle can accommodate 90 passengers per vehicle. And there are three vehicles per train. Fifteen train sets its trip per hour. (Analyze the problem using a Block Diagram to solve the problem. This will serve as your visual aide in analyzing the train problem.) Required: 1. Determine the number of passengers who boarded the train in an hour. (How many commuters boarded the train in an hour?) 2. How many trips were made within an Hour? 3. Determine the train interval. This will serve as its scheduled trips in an Hour. 4. If the scheduled trips / operational hour will start from 6 am, and the last scheduled trip is 10 pm. How many commuters were transported presuming the train is 100 percent fully occupied.
Q3) A manufacturing plant is to be constructed A manufacturing plant is to be constructed in the city of Ankara, in order to provide a faster service to its major customers in the surrounding area. There are three possible locations the company is considering. The distances (in km) from these three locations to the four major customers are listed in the table below. The transportation cost is approximately 1.00 TL/km. The annualized fixed cost of constructing the plant and the customers' demand (number of trips required per year) are also given in the table. Find the best location for this plant.
It was estimated that the number of trips between north Davis and the campus during the 8-9 AM peak hour is given by the following trip generation model: Q = 500 + 5.0(class) + 0.05(students) where Q is the total number of trips during the peak hour, class is the number of classes taught between 8-9 AM, and students is the number of students on campus. It was further estimated that there are 80 classes taught on campus between 8-9 AM and the student population is 15,000. Furthermore, these trips were accomplished by three modes: auto, Unitrans, and bicycles, whose shares are determined by the following multinomial logit choice model: Um = βm − 0.50C − 0.02T where C is out-of-pocket cost (dollars) and T is travel time (minutes). Values of βm are: Auto : 4.50 U nitrans : 3.0 Bicycle : 2.50 Suppose that the cost of an auto trip, which takes 8 minutes, is $5.50 (includes parking); Unitrans, which takes 25 minutes, costs $1.00; bicycle trips take 12 minutes and cost $0.50 per trip.

The total number of trips from ABC to XYC is 4500. All of the trips are made using car. The government proposed two alternatives, a train and a bus. The utility is given by the equation: U = -0.05(TT)-0.04(WT) - 0.07(W) - 0.2(F) - 0.2(P) TT in-vehicle travel time WT- walking time to terminal W-waiting time F-fare P-parking cost The travel time for private car is 20 minutes, 12 for bus and 10 for train. Walking time for different terminals for bus and train is 10 and 15 minutes respectively. The waiting time is 8 and 6 minutes for bus and train respectively, and the fare for car, bus and train is at $20, $8.5 and $7 dollars respectively. Parking cost for car is $3. What is the total number of trips by train?
