In order to reduce the traffic congestion and to enhance the capacity of urban road intersections, this paper builds a model of the vehicle queuing system for the intersection by queuing theory Based on Monte Carlo algorithm, this paper carries out simulation and analysis of the vehicle queuing system in the intersection by MATLAB, analyses, the status of vehicle queue to reduce the vehicle que...

this paper assumes the cell formation problem as a distributed decision network. it proposes an approach based on application and extension of information theory concepts, in order to analyze informational complexity in an agent- based system, due to interdependence between agents. based on this approach, new quantitative concepts and definitions are proposed in order to measure the amount of t...

conclusions: the patients' waiting times and the number of patients waiting to receive services in both shifts could be reduced by using multitasking persons and reallocating them to the time-consuming stage of filling prescriptions, using queuing theory and simulation techniques. background: hospital pharmacy is responsible for controlling and monitoring the medication use process and ensures ...

In this paper, we deal with the so-called Markovian Arrival process (MAP). An MAP is thought of as a partially observed Markov process, so that the ExpectationMaximization (EM) algorithm is a natural way to estimate its parameters. Then, non-linear filters of basic statistics related to the MAP must be computed. The forward-backward principle is the basic way to do it. Here, bearing in mind a f...

in this paper, reconfiguration problem of distribution network has been investigated toimprove reliability and reduce power loss by placement of renewable energy sources; i.e. solarcell and wind turbine. for this, four reliability indices are considered in objective function;which are as follows: system average interruption frequency index (saifi), system averageinterruption duration index (sai...

Queuing theory has extensively studied the problem of estimating job execution times in steady state conditions both in the case of single queues and queuing networks. This paper discusses the use of closed Queuing Network (QN) models during finite time intervals to estimate the execution time of jobs submitted to a computer system. More specifically, the paper presents the Epochs algorithm tha...

Within the competition in today’s business environment, the design of supply chains becomes more complex than before. This paper deals with the retailer’s location problem when customers choose their vendors, and inventory costs have been considered for retailers. In a competitive location problem, price and location of facilities affect demands of customers; consequently, simultaneous optimiza...
