They have recently hired a new well-known football coach and because of this, they are expecting an increase in their fan base for this sport. Their season ticket sales have gone up, meaning more revenues, however, this also means increase in customer complaints due to traffic problems whenever there’s a game. Dr. Marty Starr, SWU’s president, has asked University Planning Committee to see how they can solve this problem. Based on traffic projections, Dr.
Starr would like to have sufficient capacity so that 35,000 cars per hour can be accommodated to travel from the newly-built stadium to the interstate highway. Anticipating this problem, some of the current streets leading from the university to the interstate highway were transformed to one-way streets on a temporary basis, since the problem will only occur after the games. This will be done with police officers directing traffic after each game. Alexander Lee, SWU Planning Committee member did a quick check and stated that 33,000 cars per hour can be accommodated according to the road capacity diagram.
With node 1 alone, 33,000 cars per hour can pass through, while nodes 2, 3 and 4 is 35,000 cars per hour and the number of cars that can pass by nodes 5, 6 and 7 is much greater than the former. Therefore, he suggests that based on the current capacity, 33,000 cars per hour can be accommodated. He also suggested that they should recommend to the city manager the widening of some of the streets to increase capacity of an additional 2,000 cars per hour. He recommends the road widening based on which ever Path is cheapest.

If the city manager opts not to expand the Paths, traffic problems will still be manageable but a nuisance to SWU football game patrons. It is believed, from past experience that as long as street capacity is within 2,500 cars per hour, the problem will not be too severe. However, the problem grows drastically for each additional 1,000 cars is added in the streets. II. Define the Problem What can be done to alleviate the traffic problem that is plaguing Southwestern University (SWU)? III. Objectives: 1. To determine whether there is a need for the city manager to expand the Paths. . To determine which Paths should be expanded to accommodate the projected 35,000 cars per hour that is expected to travel from the stadium to the highway. IV. Case Facts and Information A. Current Street Capacities (in 1,000 cars per hour) V. Present Alternative Choices to Solving the Problem ACA #1: Do not recommend to the City Manager the Expansion of certain Paths Considering that the problem will only persist during the game season, this traffic problem is seasonal and road widening may be too expensive in the part of the local government.
The revenues that can be earned by SWU may not be enough to cover for the road expansion of the current roads. ACA #2: Recommend to the City Manager the Expansion of certain Paths The group will have to see if Mr. Lee’s road capacity estimates are accurate. If not, the group will have to recommend if: ACA#2 a) All roads should be widened for maximum easy traffic flow ACA#2 b) Identify only critical roads should be widened for maximum traffic flow VI. Discuss Quantitative methods employed and the solution to the problem
The group will employ maximal-flow technique, to find the most number of cars per hour can flow thru the roads that lead from the SWU stadium to the Interstate Highway. A. Maximal Flow Computation of Current Capacity By arbitrarily picking the first path from the top, Path 1 which is comprised of Nodes 1, 2, 5 and 8, 12,000 cars can flow because of nodes 2 to 5. By repeating the steps, Path 2 (Nodes 1, 3, 6 and 8) will result to 6,000 cars; Path 3 (Nodes 1, 4, 6, 7 and 8) will allow the flow of 5,000 cars; Path 4 (Nodes 1, 3, 5 and 8) will produce 4,000 cars and lastly, Path 5 (Nodes 1, 4 7, 6 and 8) will allow the maximum flow of 1,000 cars.
The Essay on My Road Path Manav Life Acted
Throughout everyone's life someone or something had contributed to what road path they decide to choose. It could be as small as deciding to purchase an item because everyone in school has it to someone who turns your whole perspective on life around. For me, I gained everything I never experienced. Imagining myself back in junior high I see a very timid girl who never kept her head up too high, ...
Based in these results, if we were to add them all, only 28,000 cars per hour can be accommodated with the current road infrastructure. (See Appendix A for QM Solution) B. Iterations in New Maximal Flow by Widening Road Capacity Considering the results of the current road infrastructure capacity of 28,000, road-widening efforts should be undertaken by the City Manager. Expanding or widening a certain road translates to an additional 2,000 cars per hour in each road’s capacity count. Several iterations can be applied: a. Apply road widening to all roads:
If all 12 roads leading from the Stadium to the Interstate Highway were to be expanded, a maximum of 34,000 cars per hour can be achieved. This can be derived with the increase in capacity in Path 1, Path 2 and Path 3 by 2,000 cars per hour each. (See Appendix B for QM Computations) b. Apply road widening to only critical roads: By picking any path from the start certain roads are widened, adding 2,000 cars per hour into their capacity. These are tested by trial and error, determining how critical they are to the whole traffic flow or not.
The group was able to isolate 5 roads that are considered critical in maximizing the number of cars per hour, which results in 34,000 cars per hour. This figure is the same as if we were to expand all of the roads leading from the Stadium to the Interstate Highway. Path 2, Path 3 and Path 5’s capacity will all be increased by 2,000 cars per hour each. (See Appendix C for QM Computations) VII. Ethical considerations that needs to be recognized in handling/resolving the case 1. The natural environment that will be affected, (e. . : trees and other flora) due to the road widening must be taken into consideration. The City Manager must relocate these and still maintain a certain amount of foliage to reduce pollution and soil erosion. 2. The City Government mustn’t abuse their power of eminent domain. Dealings with the owners of the properties (commercial or private) that will be affected (e. g. : driveways and parking areas) must be given a fair market price should their property will be sequestered for road widening. VIII.

Dhaka City Corporation as well as many other public and private organizations have joined hands together for the beautification of Dhaka city. For beautifying the city DCC has developed ...
Conclusion & Recommendations The group recommends that SWU to undertake ACA#2 b, where they will recommend to the City Manager that roads leading from the Stadium to the Interstate Highway be widened, and that only a few select roads that are deemed critical be expanded to produce the maximum number of cars per hour in this road system. Technically speaking, this will not reach the desired 35,000 cars per hour capacity that Dr. Starr is projecting, but this is the maximum number already considering the road’s constraints.
Additional capacity can only be done if there was no limit in the number of times a road can be expanded (i. e. : Node 4 to 7 ; 4 + 2 + 2 = 8 units) Since this limitation was not mentioned, the group assumes that all roads can only be widened once. The group recommends that only a few of the roads that are considered to be “critical” should be widened, and not all since road widening is an expense in the part of the City Government. Apart from being an expense, it will also affect some properties (private and commercial) and also some of the natural resources (trees and other flora).
Not only will the City Government save money, but also natural resources and the irk of many private and commercial citizens in the area. In part of the City Manager, if most of the roads that will be affected by ACA#2 b) are considered commercial or mixed-use, they can consider semi-expanding the road whereby the city can use the expanded portion into a sidewalk or a commercial space where sidewalk vendors can sell their wares or cafes can expand their al fresco dining area. That way the City Government can earn some revenues from small businesses and only close that portion whenever there are football games.
This recommendation is made in light of the increasing number of cars on the roads that will persist throughout the decades to come. However, taking into consideration the impact of increased number of cars on the environment, the group also recommends that SWU undertake an advocacy program that will encourage carpooling amongst its patrons to not only save on fuel consumption but also reduce carbon emissions that are a by-product of most vehicles. Another program that SWU may undertake is to commission mass transits namely buses that can bring patrons to and fro the Stadium to the Interstate Highway.
