Delays Deterministic Assumes “error free” type case Delay only when demand (known) exceeds capacity (known) Stochastic Delay may occur any time Random arrivals and departures per stat function

Stochastic Delay Queuing theory concepts Probability function Arrival rate Service time Required data Arrival pattern Service pattern Service method Queue discipline Number of servers
Delay Equations (random/poisson arrivals, uniform service dist means variance = 0) See p. 304 To use for HW prob 16, must compute average hourly demand (blows up if demand>supply) part c should more properly be worded “increased” to 8 minutes, not “limited” to 8 minutes.
Mathematical Formulation of Delay
M/D/1 Queuing Model
q -- Arrival (or departure) rate = λ Q -- Service rate (utilization) = Average waiting time in queue M/D/1 Queuing Model
M/D/1 Equations Average Time in System (hours) Average Queue Length (number) Average Time in service (hours)
M/M/1 Queuing Models M -- Exponentially distributed arrival and departure times and one departure channel (server, e.g., runway) 1 – One runway q – Arrival (or departure) rate Q -- Service rate From statistics recall: Exponential distribution:
M/M/1 Queuing Models Average waiting time in queue Average time in system Average queue length Probability of k units in system: P(k)= (q/Q) k [1-(q/Q)]
Example (note different terminology) (1/2) Arrival rate q = 250/9 = 27.8 A-C/hr Service rate Q = 30 A-C/hr Use M/M/1 model End hour OperationsCapacity D-CCumul
Example (2/2) Average wait time E(w)=q/[Q(Q-q)]=27.8/[30( )] = 0.42 hr/A-C Average queue length E(m)=q 2 /[Q(Q-q)]= /[30( )] = 11.7 A-C Probability of no plane in the system P(0) = (q/Q) 0 [1-(q/Q)] = Probability of one in the system (no line) P(1) = (q/Q) 1 [1-(q/Q)] = Probability of two in the system (one in line) P(1) = (q/Q) 2 [1-(q/Q)] = 0.063
