ICDP PROBLEMS

Part A – Destination Choice

Due to the construction of several mega apartment complexes just south of campus, a developer is considering the construction of a new movie theater complex, “Mega Movies”, on the east side of Gainesville. The developer has hired you to help determine the viability of building this theater complex.

Destination Choice From a trip generation model, you have already determined that 200 vehicle (assume auto-only) trips to the movies will be made from this housing area on a typical weekend evening, based on socio-economic characteristics. From the destination choice logit model developed, determine how many trips from this housing area will be attracted by each of the two existing major movie theaters and the proposed theater. Logit model variable coefficient values:

Variable Coeff.

Constant 0.10

Travel Time (min) -0.20

Available parking (in hundreds of spaces) 0.40

Movie ticket price ($) -0.25

Number of screens 0.30

Movie theater characteristics:

Movie Theater

Variable Mega Movies

(new)

Regal Cinemas Royal Park

Travel time (min) 15 15 20

Available parking (spaces) 550 500 450

Movie ticket price ($) 8.50 6.50 7.50

Number of screens 17 14 16

If the developer of the new theater wants to capture at least 75% of all the movie trips from this housing area, how many more screens would they need to add? Would it be worth it economically if the cost per additional screen is $2.5 per additional person attracted? Assume that the average vehicle occupancy is 2 persons (i.e., every vehicle trip generates 2 tickets sold).

 

Part B – Route Choice

Route Choice

The cost of roadway improvements to the developer is a function of the amount of traffic being generated by the theater as well as the routes that these vehicles use in getting to/from the theater. Thus, you need to determine traffic demand on the available routes between the housing area (apartment complexes) and the proposed theater site.

There are two potential routes from this housing area to the proposed theater site. The total flow on these two routes (origin-to-destination demand plus other traffic) is 5500 vehicles. These routes have the following speed and length characteristics: Route Free-Flow Speed (mi/h) Length (mi)

1 40 3.5

2 35 3.75

It is known that the individual route travel times increase (in units of minutes) according to the following functions (with x in units of 1000 vehicles per hour):

Travel Time increase,

(b) Determine the system-optimal (SO) flows and travel times.

(c) Compare the total travel times for all vehicles (in vehicle-hours) under UE and SO.

JENZABAR Case study

Jenzabar is dedicated to the success of its clients in higher education, supporting more than 1,300 campuses around the world with tailored student-information software and related services. From enrollment to graduation, Jenzabar helps to streamline student and university administration and finance. For large and small institutions, the growing cost and complexity of running an in-house IT infrastructure makes it an unwelcome distraction from the core business of education. Recognizing this, Jenzabar wanted to ease the pressure on its clients’ technical resources, while at the same time helping institutions with legacy ERP struggling to meet growing student expectations.

To capitalize on this new opportunity, Jenzabar needed a flexible, robust, highly secure platform for delivering private software-as-a-service solutions to a growing number of clients. The international dimension was also important: Jenzabar wanted to cater to clients with specific compliance requirements regarding the location of data within national borders.

Gus Ortiz, Managed Services Program Manager at Jenzabar, explains: “As the business and our horizons grew, we wanted a scalable and reliable cloud platform that offered direct control over the computing, storage and network resources, so that we could respond rapidly to our hosted clients’ needs. Without a standardized global platform for cloud services, we would not be able to scale the business to match our ambitions.”

Based on the given information, suggest a suitable cloud computing provider.

Write a report (3-4 pages) that recommend a service provider and justify your answer by describing the following:

  1. The characteristics of the chosen provider.
  2. The services suggested for the case.
  3. The market position and shares locally or globally.
  4. Describe their pricing model that you recommend.
  5. Briefly list the types of subscriptions.

Classroom Finding a Solution from a Giver.

Write the word statement as an equation. Use x as the variable. Then find all solution of the equation from the set (0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10). Three times a number is subtracted from 21, giving 15. 21 —3x = 15 Substitute each of the given numbers. The solution is 2, because 21 — 3(2) = 15.

Decide whether each equation has the given number as a solution. a. 8p — 10 5; 2

Equations and Expressions An expression is a phrase that represents a number.  4x + 5 (expression)

An equation is a sentence—it has something on the left side, an = symbol, and something on the right side.  4x + 5 = 9 (equation)

Identify Solutions An equation is a statement that two algebraic expressions are equal. An equation always includes IA equality symbol, = .
Examples of equations: x+4=11 2y=16 4p+1=25—p
z.2 = 4
3 1 71x+2=°
4(m —0.5)=2m

To solve an equation means to find the values of the variable that make the equation true. Such a value of the variable is a solution of the equation.
Classroom Deciding Whether a Number is a Solution

Identify Solutions
A set is a collection of objects. In mathematics, these objects are usually numbers. The objects that belong to a sct are its elements. They are written between braces I }. For example, the set containing the numbers (or elements) 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 is writtcn as (1 , 2, 3, 4, 5).
One way of determining solutions is the direct substitution of all possible replacements. The ones that lead to true statements arc solutions.
