1. An interstate weigh station can weigh an average of

20 trucks per hour. Trucks arrive at the average rate of
12 trucks per hour. Performance is described by an
M/ M/1 model. What is most nearly the steady-state
value of the trucks' time spent waiting to be weighed?
(A) 0.13 hr/truck
(B) 0.25 hr/truck
(C) 4.0 hr/truck
(D) 8.0 hr/truck
2. A traffic flow relationship is given by q= kv , where q

is the traffic volume in veh/hr , k is the traffic density in
veh/mi, and v is the mean speed in mi/hr. The mean
speed on a road in mi/hr is given by the relationship

3. A highway weigh station can inspect an average of

16 trucks per hour. Trucks arrive at the average rate of
10 trucks per hour. Performance is described by an
M/ M/1 model. What is most nearly the steady-state
value of the number of trucks in the station?

4. Vehicles arrive at a parking garage at an average rate

of 45 vehicles per hour. Vehicles are parked by either of
two attendants at an average rate of one vehicle per
minute for each attendant. The queue discipline is first
come, first served. The arrival of vehicles is modeled as a
Poisson's distribution and attendant parking time is
modeled as an exponential distribution. What is most
nearly the probability that at least one attendant will be
idle?

vehicle speed is shown for a particular road.
