Abstract: | |||||
This research is concerned with the study of bulk queueing
models. A number of M/G/l queues with bulk-arrival and/or
bulk-service are studied via the imbedded Markov chain technique to
derive steady-state models. Results from these models are compared
with simulation results after the appropriate numerical analysis, needed
to implement these solutions, has been considered.
Similar queueing models are considered from a time-dependent
viewpoint. Because of the difficulties of obtaining time-dependent
solutions, the emphasis is placed upon the development of
approximations to the queueing results.
Finally, to demonstrate the practicability of these models, two
real-life problems are considered, namely the Gatwick Rapid Transit
systems and the proposed Channel Tunnel freight shuttle operation.
It is demonstrated that the former is an under-utilised system, while
the latter is likely to operate very close to its capacity conditions.
