1) Two possible solutions to the problem of congested roads are gasoline taxes and tolls. Which of these two alternatives is preferable and why?
It can be mentioned that tolls can actually be a better alternative and this is because of the fact that gasoline prices can increase due to the taxes but when marginal analysis is concerned during the peak time people still prefer gasoline and use their own vehicles but when tools are there at a single marginal point, the cost will be higher and therefore the elasticity will be high and less vehicles can result.

Higher unemployment caused by the recession and higher gasoline prices have contributed to a substantial reduction during 2008 in the number of vehicles on roads, bridges, and in tunnels. According to the Wall Street Journal, the reduction in demand for toll bridge and tunnel crossings created a serious revenue problem for many cities. In New York, the number of vehicles traveling across bridges and through tunnels fell from 23.6 million in January2008 to 21.9 million in January 2009. That drop...
Q2. Transport problems and solutions can be viewed in two different ways: (i) Adjust roads and vehicles, not driver behavior, (ii) Increase transportation system diversity and efficiency. Discuss them separately. Which one is explaining the definition of TDM more? Q1. Discuss the major environmental issues and potential adverse effects that may arise as a result of the construction and implementation of a new highway. Q3. How Transit and HOV Reduces Traffic Congestion ?
You are asked to analyze the following two solutions: Solution 1 – acetaminophen, ibuprofen, and aspirin Solution 2 – methyl t-butyl ether, isooctane and n-butanol (gasoline additives) Explain which chromatographic technique (GC or HPLC) you would use to separate each of these mixtures and why that technique would be useful for that separation. Indicate columns and detectors when appropriate.
uol or problem) 1. Crude petroleum is an input in the production of gasoline. In the 1970s, the United States experienced two major "negative oil shocks," which significantly reduced the supply of crude petroleum in the counie paribus, it follows that, in the standard supply and demand model, the supply of gasoline , leading to a equilibrium price of gasoline. ecreased; higher .increased: higher C. decreased; lower D. increased; lower 2.

A pitot tube is used to measure the velocity of gasoline flowing in a pipe. The estimation of the velocity is given by the equation in which vi is the local velocity at location 1, pthe density of the liquid, pr the total pressure measured by the tube, and pi the static pressure at location 1. The density is estimated to be 680 50 kg/m3 (P 0.95, 0 bias). (i) Assume that the two pressures are measured separately using individual...

2. Market solutions to correct for negative externalities This problem asks you to examine the costs in the market for gasoline. The cost of consuming gasoline comes in two parts: 1. First, the driver pays the market price for a gallon of gasoline. 2. In addition, other people who live in the area bear a cost because they suffer from the pollution created by consuming gasoline; this is the external cost of consuming gasoline Because external costs result from the...

Question 7 +250 The government of UK government is considering a series of toll roads which will be operated by companies in the private sector. Contracts to run the toll roads will be for five years at which time contracts will be put out to competitive tender again. As the finance director of Oval ple, a transport operator, you are interested in bidding for one of the first series of contracts. It is anticipated that you will need to pay...
