a) Assume a bus line with N stops, where distance between stops is S. Free flow speed of the bus is v, with acceleration and deceleration, a. P passengers per stop are boarding and alighting and time needed for a passenger to board or alight is T seconds. What is the average speed of a bus?
b) Following on part (a), assume the origin of passengers are spread uniformly along the bus route. The destination of all passengers is the last stop. The walking speed of passengers is u. Determine the average travel time of passengers.
If you need to assume other variables and parameters to solve this problem clearly state that in your report and explain the reason.
