A four-lane freeway (two lanes in each direction) has the arrival flow rate of λ(t)=40-0.15t (with t in minutes and λ(t) in vehicles per minute). At 7 am, an accident occurred in the northbound and blocked both lanes. Twenty minutes later, one lane was opened. At 7:40 am the accident was cleared and both lanes were opened. The capacity of the highway is 2,200 vehicles per hour per lane if not impacted by an accident. (Assuming D/D/1 queuing). When did...

Due to network-wide construction work zones, road maintenance planners are considering diverting truck traffic from other roads to a four-lane highway which has two lanes in each direction and is on a level terrain. The road maintenance planners would like to utilize the maximum possible flow rate and keep the four-lane highway at LOS C, which is the minimum acceptable LOS in the district. The adjusted free flow speed is 60 miles per hour. The peak hour factor is 0.88,...
