Modeling circulation systems in buildings using state dependent queueing models. (English) Zbl 0669.90050

Queueing Syst. 4, No. 4, 319-338 (1989).
Circulation systems within buildings are analyzed using M/G/C/C queueing models. Congestion aspects of the traffic flow are represented by introducing state dependent service rates as a function of the number of occupants in each region of the circulation system. Analytical models for unidirectional and multi-source/single sink flows are presented. Finally, use of the queueing models to analytically determine the optimal size and capacity of the links of the circulation systems is incorporated into a series of software programs available from the authors.
