Traffic Flow

Traffic engineers use systems of equations to study the flow of traffic. The analysis of traffic flow is based on the principle that the number of cars that enter and leave an intersection must be equal. Suppose the traffic flow for some one-way streets can be modeled by the diagram below, where the numbers and the variables represent the numbers of cars entering or leaving an intersection per hour.

Let x1, x2, and x3 represent the number of cars per hour that are traveling on AC, AB, and BC, respectively. Consider intersection A. There are 300 + 200 = 500 cars per hour entering A and x1 + x2 cars leaving A. Therefore, x1 + x2 = 500. For intersection B, we have 50 + x2 cars per hour entering the intersection and 100 + x3 cars leaving the intersection. Thus 50 + x2 = 100 + x3, or x2 – x3 = 50. Applying the same reasoning to C, we have x1 + x3 = 450. These equations result in the system of equations:

Using this example, estimate the traffic flow for a roundabout presented below. The graphical model shows the number of cars per hour that are entering or leaving a roundabout. If the portion of the roundabout between A and B has an estimated traffic flow of from 6[e] to 8[a] cars per hour, what is the estimated traffic flow between C and A, and between B and C?

For 6[e] to 8[2]. my numbers are 6[5] to 8[2]

I have worked the problem out as much as I can, I feel like on the I have done something wrong on the finding x2 at the end.  I have attached my word doc.  If you don’t mind can you take a look at my problem and let me know if I have done something wrong.

Modern Book Distribution, Inc. Case Study Evaluation (20 points). Richard Guy, CEO of Modern Book Distribution, Inc. (MBD) scanned the “Executive Summary” of the consulting report he had just received. Guy saw the report was filled with the latest buzzwords and hot concepts: Establish cross docking facilities for high-volume deliveries to large customers…centralize storage operations to decrease safety stock levels…leverage point-of-sale data to move toward a pull distribution strategy…Guy was familiar with all of these phases and concepts at a superficial level, of course – anybody who occasionally picked up The Wall Street Journal or Business Week would be. He was less sure, however, if the consultants were trying to dazzle him with fads or if the kind of radical operating changes that were being proposed in the report would help to position MBD for the future.

Founded 80 years ago, MBD had been for many years one of the largest book distributors in the country. From its seven regional warehouses, MBD services major bookstore chains and smaller independent booksellers throughout the country. The company had continuously strived to improve its service levels and operating efficiency, and it was considered the most efficient book distributor in the industry. Using advanced forecasting techniques to control inventory levels and technologically advanced warehouses to control operating expenses. MBD shipped virtually all of the orders it received within two days from its stock of nearly 500,000 books, the largest in the industry.

The bookselling industry, however, had been changing dramatically, and Guy realized that MBD would have to make changes to remain a book distribution powerhouse. In particular, two relatively new types of retailers were becoming more and more dominant in the industry: large superstores and online booksellers. Both of these categories of retailers presented new and unique challenges to their distributors.

In the past MBD had interacted primarily with the superstores through large regional distribution centers (DCs) that the superstores maintained. In general MBD had shipped to the DCs consolidated orders of many different titles bound ultimately for many different stores. As these superstores learned from the experiences of large retailers in other industries, they started to demand new kinds of services from their distributors. For example, some retailers had started to strongly encourage MBD to ship directly to stores, bypassing the DCs. In addition, as the industry consolidated, these huge superstores were developing more leverage with their distributors. They used this leverage to force the distributors to accept lower and lower margins.

On-line booksellers presented an entirely different set of challenges to Guy and the managers at MBD. Initially, these retailers kept no inventory at hand. Instead, they took orders and relayed them to distributors like MBD, who delivered the books to the retailers for repacking and shipment. Recently, the large on-line retailers had started moving toward a new business model: they established their own distribution centers where they kept inventory and handled packaging and shipment of books directly to the end customers.

Guy realized that these industry changes could provide opportunities and challenges for his company. In particular, the new business model developed by some of the on-line retailers, in which they established their own warehouses, may cut MBD’s profit margins. Clearly, if MBD was to maintain its reputation as one of the nation’s leading book distributors, it would have to start doing things differently.

Furthermore, he had the consultant’s report, filled with recommendations and designs for new distribution systems. Guy knew that he and his management team would have to develop an understanding of these issues in order to properly assess the consultant’s suggestions. Based on the case, answer the following questions:

1. Should MBD implement a push strategy? A pull strategy? A push-pull strategy? What would it require to implement the strategy? What is the impact?
2. What distribution strategies are appropriate for MBD’s businesses? What questions should MBD management ask when assessing these strategies?
3. How can MBD benefit from changes in the book distribution strategy?
4. What are the advantages to MBD in having fewer warehouses and a more centralized operation? More warehouses and a more decentralized operation?

a)MBD should implement push – pull strategy to counter competition from both the larger retailersand the online shops. To implement this, MBD will require forecasting techniques which alreadyit…

1. Modern astronomy basically begins with the re-emergence of the heliocentric view of the universe by Copernicus. Who were the four other major contributors to the development of modern astronomy after Copernicus?  Explain what those contributions were. Finally, why did it take so long for the geocentric view of the universe to be overthrown and what does that tell us about scientific research and our society, even today?
2. Explain the relationship of geography to other scientific disciplines. What is a good definition for geography or the geosciences in general?  What are the strengths and weaknesses of geography as a discipline and how do you think that has influenced its development, or lack thereof? 
3. Weather and climate are separate, but related, terms.  Provide a definition of each and then give an example of a concept related to both weather and climate. Additionally, since they are important issues when dealing with the subject of climate today, what is the greenhouse effect and global warming? Are they the same thing?  If not, how are they different? What influence would global warming have on “nature” and our lives?
4. Explain the pressure gradient force, the Coriolis Effect and the frictional force and their effects on the direction and speed of air at the surface and aloft in the atmosphere. Describe the wind and pressure systems (surface and aloft) that exist in the zone from the Equator to the North Pole in the Northern Hemisphere. There is a close relationship between atmospheric pressure patterns, wind zones and precipitation patterns. The global map of total annual rainfall shows great differences in precipitation received from place to place. Using at least 3 reasons, explain why this is so.
5. Compare/contrast the Mediterranean (Csa) climate found along the coast of southern California and the humid subtropical (Cfa) climate found in South Carolina. Considering that comparison, also explain why the western United States has dramatically different climates from the eastern United States.  An important consideration when considering climate and climatic change today is the role of El Nino. Explain the ocean/atmosphere changes that take during an El Nino/ENSO cycle and the effects these changes have on our lives and societies.
