A Fluid Flow Model of Networks of Queues

Vandergraft, James S. - In: Management Science 29 (1983) 10, pp. 1198-1208

This paper describes a new technique for modeling flow through a network of queues. The advantages of this method over many discrete event simulations or queueing theory techniques include simplicity, low cost and portability. The paper describes the kinds of processes to which the technique can...

Managing the environmental externalities of traffic logistics: The issue of emissions

VAN WOENSEL, Tom; CRETEN, Ruth; VANDAELE, Nico J. - Faculteit Toegepaste Economische Wetenschappen, …

Companies are increasingly being held accountable for the life-cycle impact of their products and services. Transportation is frequently a major component of this life-cycle impact. Hence, to reduce total environmental impact, logistics managers will have to become more sophisticated in their...

A queueing based traffic flow model

VANDAELE, Nico; VAN WOENSEL, Tom; VERBRUGGEN, Aviel - Faculteit Toegepaste Economische Wetenschappen, … - 1999

The assessment of uninterrupted traffic flow is traditionally based on empirical methods. We develop some analytic queueing models based on traffic counts and we model the behavior of traffic flows as a function of some of the most relevant determinants. These analytic models allow for...

Securing the Containerized Supply Chain: Analysis of Government Incentives for Private Investment

Bakshi, Nitin; Gans, Noah - In: Management Science 56 (2010) 2, pp. 219-233

To mitigate the threat that terrorists smuggle weapons of mass destruction into the United States through maritime containers, the U.S. Bureau of Customs and Border Protection (CBP) inspects containers upon entry to domestic ports. Inspection-driven congestion is costly, and CBP provides...

The Shape of the Loss Curve and the Impact of Long-Range Dependence on Network Performance

Mandjes, Michel; Boots, Nam Kyoo - Tinbergen Instituut - 2001

Empirical studies showed that many types of network traffic exhibit long-range dependence (LRD),i.e., burstiness on a wide variety of time-scales. Given that traffic streams are indeed endowed withLRD properties, a next question is: what is their impact on network performance? To assess...

Fast Simulation of a Queue fed by a Superposition of Many (Heavy-Tailed) Sources

Boots, Nam Kyoo; Mandjes, Michel - Tinbergen Instituut - 2001

Reduced System Algorithms for Markov Chains

Lal, Ram; Bhat, U. Narayan - In: Management Science 34 (1988) 10, pp. 1202-1220

A reduced system is a smaller system derived in the process of analyzing a larger system. In solving for steady state probabilities of a Markov chain, generally the solution can be found by first solving a reduced system of equations which is obtained by appropriately partitioning the transition...
