Some Applications of the Multiple Server Queueing Models in Ports

This paper will provide an analysis of basic port operational process through various models of the queueing theory. The comparison of described and developed models has been realized in relation with the essential characteristics of the system, i.e. operating port parameters. The results of the analyses show a series of statistical parameters which form fundamental indicators of the system. The advantages and disadvantages of the given models are pointed out in 2D and 3D graphical presentations. This paper deals with the anchorage-ship-berth link in ports. The vessels movement process in port is analyzed by using methods of queueing theory models, i.e. multichannel servicing systems with limited waiting queue, unit bulk arrival in the systems and cancellation of the whole group (model I) or partial system completion (model II). All the main characteristics of the systems are given.
