Question: For a two- way bus route, if the demand service is 250 passenger/hr and the route length is 20 km. The route is to be served by 30 seat buses with allow 15 standing passenger with average speed of 40 km/hr. Assuming that all the bus will reach to the destination and leave fully loaded. Also , the bus scheduled must be in 5 minutes increment. Calculate the number of buses required to serve this route ?
During morning peak hour, the passenger demand is 600. Assume that passenger demand is evenly distributed within that period and the average load/occupancy is 50 passengers per bus. Calculate the average headway of a city buses? If the passenger demand increases to be 750, calculate the number of bus units need to be added and the headway shorten?
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.
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.
Determine the breakeven travel time to the nearest 0.1 hours for the following conditions: Vehicle 1: Direct Haul Operating Cost = $69/hour; Vehicle Capacity = 6.47 tons Vehicle 2: Transfer Station Cost = $6.3/ton; Trailer Operating cost = $240/hour; Trailer Capacity = 30 tons
1) Suppose you are transport manager and asked to evaluate intermodal versus unimodal transportation for Istanbul-Izmir road using truck or truck+rail. If loading cost is 35 TL, unloading cost is 60 TL, Cost for truck (Ct) is 1100 TL, cost for rail (Cr) is 800 TL, total distance is 560 Km, and the carried amount is 1 container. If there is pre-transportation with 10 Km and 50 TL cost, find the optimal distance for rail to select intermodal transportation.

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). Identify the…

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.
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.
A household has 17 members and an annual income of P20,000. They currently live in a neighborhood with 550 retail employees, but are moving to a new home in a neighborhood with 150 retail employees. Calculate the additional vehicle-based peak- hour shopping trips the household makes before and after the move. Use: Vehicle-based Shopping Trips = 0.12 + 0.09HS + 0.011AHI - 0.15EH HS - household size AHI - annual household income in thousand pesos EH - employment in household's neighborhood in hundreds Note: use two decimal places
