Simulations And Queueing Theory: The Effects Of Randomly Bypassing Security, Emily Ortmann Apr 2018

Simulations And Queueing Theory: The Effects Of Randomly Bypassing Security, Emily Ortmann

Masters Theses & Doctoral Dissertations

We discuss queueing theory in the setting of airport security and customs. By developing queueing simulations based on mathematical models, we explore a variety of questions related to optimal queue design with respect to efficiency, feasibility, priority, and other prescribed/variable constraints.


Simulations And Queueing Theory: The Effects Of Priority And Vip Thresholds, Laura Schuck Apr 2018

Simulations And Queueing Theory: The Effects Of Priority And Vip Thresholds, Laura Schuck

Masters Theses & Doctoral Dissertations

Everyone has experienced waiting in lines, whether it is at the airport, the grocery store, or somewhere in-between. By developing queueing simulations based on mathematical models of airport security and customs, we explore a variety of questions related to optimal queue design with respect to efficiency, feasibility, priority, and other prescribed/variable constraints.
