TRAFFIC LIGHT QUEUES AS A GENERALIZATION TO QUEUEING THEORY

THE TOTAL REMAINING DEPARTURE HEADWAY OF VEHICLES IN THE FIXED-CYCLE TRAFFIC LIGHT QUEUE IS DEALT WITH; THIS CORRESPONDS TO THE "SERVER OCCUPATION TIME" USED IN QUEUEING THEORY IF DEPARTURE HEADWAYS ARE CONSIDERED AS SERVICE TIMES. A FIXED-CYCLE TRAFFIC LIGHT QUEUE WITH RATHER GENERAL ARRIVALS AND DEPARTURE HEADWAYS IS REDUCED TO A GENERALIZED MODEL OF THE GI/G QUEUEING PROCESS ORIGINATED BY LINDLEY (1952). A PARTIAL VEHICULAR-ACTUATED TRAFFIC LIGHT QUEUE WITH STATIONARY, INDEPENDENT ARRIVALS AND GENERAL DEPARTURE HEADWAYS IS ALSO REDUCED TO THE GENERALIZED MODEL. /AUTHOR/
