Abstract
A model for a vehicle controlled intersection based on a zero-switch queueing system is introduced and analyzed under Markov chain dependence input. Conditions for asymptotic stability are derived. Under these conditions the moments of the cycle lengths are derived. The expected area beneath the sample paths given by the queue sizes is computed. This area represents total delay to all cars, and is a measure of the effectiveness of the control device.Keywords
