Question: Dwell Time at stop ( td ) is operation time spent by a bus at a stop is given: t d = a A +

Dwell Time at stop (td) is operation time spent by a bus at a stop is given:
td=aA+bB(for two way flow, through busiest door)
td=aA(for one way flow, alighting)
td=b B (for one way flow, boarding)
a,b are average alighting and boarding time per passengers in seconds; A, B and total number of alighting and boarding passengers, respectively. Also, the data for calculation for maximum number of buses are listed
tc,= clearance time (s)
td,= mean dwell time (s)
Z,= standard normal variable corresponding to a desired failure
rate (one-tailed test)
cv,= coefficient of variation of dwell times
Assume a=2 second, b=3 second and clearance time tc=5 second. Tolerable failure rate is 5%.
The table shows the number. of passengers using front door, back door for alighting and boarding.
\table[[\table[[Bus],[No.]],\table[[No. of],[Doors]],\table[[Front Door],[Alighting No.]],\table[[Front Door],[Boarding No.]],\table[[Back Door],[Alighting No.]]],[1,1,7,12,-],[2,2,10,7,8],[3,2,12,10,7],[4,1,8,9,-],[5,1,7,14,-],[6,2,7,8,22],[7,2,6,4,18],[8,1,12,10,-],[9,2,7,8,9]]
Determine the (a) busiest door (b) the maximum of buses that can use this bus stop
Dwell Time at stop ( td ) is operation time spent
