Three routes connect and origin and a destination with performance functions t₁ = 8 + x₁, t₂ = 1 + 2x2, and t3 = 1 + 0.5x3 (with x's in thousands of vehicles per hour and t's in minutes). If the peak-hour traffic demand is 3400 vehicles, determine user- equilibrium traffic flows on each route. [Ans: x₂ = 0.68]

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
An origin-destination pair is connected by a route with a performance function tj = 8 + X1, and another with a function t2 = 1 + 2x2 (with x's in thousands of vehicles per hour and t's in minutes). If the total origin destination flow is 4000 veh/h, determine user equilibrium and system-optimal route travel times, total travel time (in vehicle- minutes), and route flows.
Three routes connect an origin to a destination with the following link performance functions: t_1 = 8 + 0.5 x_2 t_2 = 1 + 2x_2 t_3 = 3 + 0.75x_3 where t's in minutes and x's in thousands of vehicle per hour. If the peak-hour traffic demand is 4000 vehicles, determine the user equilibrium (UE) flows.

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?
2. There are two routes in use between Zones 1 and 2. The volume-delay functions for the two routes are as follows: V1 V2 t1 = 22 + 250 t2 = 15 + 150 where t = travel time(minutes) V = traffic volume If the total traffic volume is 6,950 vehicles per hour between the two zones, what are the traffic volumes and travel times on each of the two routes at a user-equilibrium (UE) condition?
Problem: There are 2 routes connecting two cities. The total demand is 1000 veh/hr. The first route has travel time function as t₁ = 10 + 0.03.V₁ and the second route as t₂ = 12 +0.05.V₂, where V₂ and V₂ are traffic volume on route 1 and 2. Note that V₁ + V₂= 1000 veh/hr. Use incremental all-or-nothing assignment with p₁ = 0.4, p2 = 0.3, p = 0.2 and P4 = 0.1 to determine the route traffic flows.
Two routes connect an origin-destination pair with performance functions t₁ = 5 + (x₁/2)² and t₂ = 7+ (x2/4)² (with t's in minutes and x's in thousands of vehicles per hour). It is known that at user equilibrium, 75% of the origin-destination demand takes route 1. What percentage would take route 1 if a system-optimal solution were achieved, and how much travel time would be saved?
Three routes connect an origin-destination pair with performance functions:t₁ = 20 +0.5x1t2 = 4+ 2x2t3=3+0.2x3with t in minutes and x in thousand vehicles per hour.(a) Determine the User Equilibrium flow on each route if q = 4000veh/h.

Find the system optimal flow on routes 2 and 3 and compute the total travel times.
The average queue length at the intersection of the two roads with a stop signs is 4 vehicles. If the arrival rate of vehicles at the stop sign is 300 vehicles per hour, determine the service rate of the road in vehicles per hour. Assume both arrival and departure rates are exponentially distributed.
Two routes are available to carry 1200 vehicles in peak-hour traffic. Route 1 has a posted speed limit of 45 mph and is 5 miles long. The travel time increases by 2x2, where x is vehicles in thousands. Route 2 has a limit of 55 mph and is 6.7 miles long, and the travel time increases by 1.5x. Find the user-equilibrium travel flow and travel time.
