QUEUEING IN LANES

A QUEUEING MODEL IS PRESENTED IN WHICH DELAY STEMS FROM A DISPARITY BETWEEN THE ORDER AT WHICH SERVICE IS PROVIDED TO CUSTOMERS AND THE ORDER AT WHICH THEY MAY LEAVE THE SYSTEM. THE PROBABILITY FUNCTION OF WAITING IS DETERMINED FOR A SINGLE, FINITE QUEUE, AND THE CONSEQUENCES OF SPLITTING THE SINGLE QUEUE INTO SEVERAL PARALLEL QUEUES WITH IDENTICAL DISCIPLINE ARE EXPLORED. THE RESULTS OF THE ANALYSIS ARE APPLIED TO A PARKING LOT DESIGN PROBLEM. /RATAOC/
