Vehicles arrive at an entrance of a recreational park.

There is a single gate (at which all vehicles must


stop), where park attendant distributes a free brochure. The park opens at 8:00 Am., at which time
vehicles begin to arrive at a rate declines to 120 veh/h, and it continues at that rate for the remainder of
the day. If the time required to distribute the brochure is 15 seconds describe the operational
characteristic of the queue, 3. Longest vehicle delay, 4. Longest vehicle queue, 5. Total vehicle delay, 6.
Average delay per vehicle)
Consider the entrance at the recreational park described in the D/D/1 sample problem. However, let the
average arrival rate be 180 veh/hr and Poisson distributed (exponential times between arrival) over the
entire period from park opening time (8:00 A.M.) until closing at dust. Compute the average length of
queue (in vehicles), average waiting time in queue, and average time spent in the system, assuming
M/D/1 queuing principle.

Assume the park attendant in the previous example takes an average of 15 seconds to distribute
brochures, but the distribution time varies depending on whether the patrons have questions relation to
park operating policies. Given an average arrival rate of 180 veh/h, compute the average length of
queue, and average time spent in the system, assume M/M/1 queuing
