 Some results of queuing approaches at container yardMaja Å kurić;, Branislav Dragović; and Romeo MeÅ¡trović International Journal of Decision Sciences, Risk and Management, 2011, vol. 3, issue 3/4, 260-273 Abstract: This paper discusses the significance of bulk queuing models in developing the container performances at terminals using analytical expressions. The models present a bulk arrival multi server queuing system. The arrival and service process of containers at container yard must give the input data in shape of some statistical distribution. The models discuss the total bulk queuing system costs of containers at container yard and specific cost ratio. Here, we propose different models in relation to old and new explicit formulae from previous investigations. Comparing these various models with bulk arrival of containers would give the optimal value of queue discipline. Finally, a given comparative analysis between these models and analytical approach will improve the best values for container performances at container yard. Computational experiments are reported to evaluate the efficiency of all considered models for container terminal in Port of Bar, Montenegro.
