A queueing system for airport buses

The use of remote terminals to relieve airport congestion leads rather naturally to queueing systems with batch arrivals occuring at fixed time intervals to a multiple server service facility. In this paper arrival point steady-state solutions to the D [ X] / M/ c queueing system are presented. Solu...

Description
Summary:The use of remote terminals to relieve airport congestion leads rather naturally to queueing systems with batch arrivals occuring at fixed time intervals to a multiple server service facility. In this paper arrival point steady-state solutions to the D [ X] / M/ c queueing system are presented. Solution of the steady-state equation WP = W and Neuts' method of solving the GI [ X] / M/ c system are used to obtain steady-state system size densities. Results obtained using the two methods are compared with each other as well as with simulation results.
