Summary
This paper considers an intersection of one-way streets withPoisson arrival and general departure processes. The traffic light stays green in one direction until the queue in this arm has vanished. The transient behavior of queue lengths at switching points and the steady state distributions of the delays are given.
Zusammenfassung
Es wird eine Kreuzung von Einbahnstraßen untersucht mitPoisson-verteilten Ankunfts- und allgemeinen Abgangsprozessen. Die Ampel bleibt grün in einer Richtung, bis keine Fahrzeuge in dieser Richtung mehr warten. Es werden das Übergangsverhalten der Warteschlangen an Schaltzeitpunkten sowie die Grenzverteilungen der Wartezeiten angegeben.
