Abstract

This paper derives the steady-state distribution of the virtual wait in GI/M1 queues in which the interarrival times depend on the virtual wait. Applications are queues in which the time it will take for the system to start servicing a new arrival (virtual wait) affects the generation of new arrivals. Such queues arise in airport or large-city freeway traffic control systems. Related state-dependent situations occur in production-inventory systems, cash flow in banking or in insurance systems, dam control systems, and in natural sciences. The method of analysis is by means of system-point level crossing theory.
