Assume that this building has one entry and one exit controlled by an automatic gate,
which can serve 360 vehicles per hour. Determine the length of queue and waiting time,
considering M/M/1.

From the question 1, we know that the numbers of trips that the project will generate is:
N. trips = 403 trips
 Now, we need to know how many vehicles per hour that the project generates,
so we looked for information on the web page of “RPP noticias” it is an
information recollected of the “Ministry of Transport and Communications”

25-viaja-2-horas-noticia-992721
 According to this information, we know that in Lima, there are 25% of people
that use their own vehicle to transport.
 So, we calculate:

𝑷𝒖𝒃𝒍𝒊𝒄 𝑻𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒔𝒑𝒐𝒓𝒕 = 𝟕𝟓% ∗ 𝟒𝟎𝟑 = 𝟑𝟎𝟐. 𝟕𝟓𝒗𝒑𝒉

𝑷𝒓𝒊𝒗𝒆𝒕𝒆 𝑻𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒔𝒑𝒐𝒓𝒕 = 𝟐𝟓% ∗ 𝟒𝟎𝟑 = 𝟏𝟎𝟎. 𝟕𝟓𝒗𝒑𝒉

Departure rate (u)

𝒖= ∗ = 𝟔𝒗𝒆𝒉/𝒎𝒊𝒏
𝒉𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝟔𝟎𝒎𝒊𝒏
Arrival rate (ƛ)

𝟓𝟑𝒗𝒆𝒉 𝟏𝒉𝒐𝒖𝒓
ƛ = 𝟏𝟎𝟎. 𝟕𝟓 ∗ 𝟕𝟎% = 𝟕𝟎. ∗ = 𝟏. 𝟏𝟖𝒗𝒆𝒉/𝒎𝒊𝒏
𝒉𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝟔𝟎𝒎𝒊𝒏
