Consider a parking lot simulation. There are 2 barrier exit points in the existing system. One of
them is reserved to serve the subscribers. The other serves the vehicles of non-subscribers. The
present system is schematized in Figure 1. According to the previous data, 20% of the vehicles
arriving at the parking lot belong to subscriber customers.
Figure 1. Current System
According to the results of the analysis of the previous period data, in the current system, the inter-
arrival time of the vehicles to the "non-subscribers" exit fits to the exponential distribution with a
mean duration of 75 seconds. However, the payment time at the payment counter corresponds to
the normal distribution with an average of 120 seconds and a standard deviation of 20 seconds
(License plate reading and barrier opening time is accepted within the payment period). The inter-
arrival time of "subscriber" vehicles fits to the exponential distribution with an average of 300
seconds, and there is a uniformly distributed time delay between 10 and 15 seconds when crossing
the barrier (due to the time of license plate reading and barrier opening).
As an alternative system, the parking lot owner is considering adding another payment counter to
the "subscribers" exit as a solution especially for reducing the waiting times of non-subscribers. In
this way, there will be two payment points serving non-subscribers, and the non-subscribers
customers can enter the shortest queue.
Considering this information and the fact that there are no vehicles in the system at the beginning.
a) Build a simulation model for each option / system, calculate the average waiting times
in the system by running both models for the first 10 vehicles.
b) Find the confidence interval for the average waiting time per customer by doing 3
replications for each option / system.
c) Show which of these two options / systems is better
d) Calculate the number of additional replications required for the current system (=0.4 minute)
hello
please solve this question by making a simulation data table writing down all the calculations and formulas , and please dont use char gpt it will nor work as well , solve it by hand without software .
thats all thank you
