Abstract
This paper presents a statistical technique for the control of the traffic intensity in single-server queuing systems with (i) Poisson arrivals and general service times and (ii) recurrent arrivals and exponential service times. The procedure is such that the system is readjusted only if the number of customers in the system either falls and stays beyond the upper control limit longer than a preassigned number of consecutive transitions or falls and stays below the lower control limit longer than a preassigned number of consecutive transitions. Methods are given to derive these two pairs of control limits using available transition probability tables, and tables of control limits have been provided for a selected number of parameter values in the queue with Poisson arrivals and general service times.Keywords
