    Road traffic Modelling and Simulating with fluid-dynamic approach

    No full text
    In this work we present a mathematical model for fluid-dynamic flows on road networks, based on conservation laws according with Piccoli et al. approach. The road network is represented by means of a links and nodes structure. A description of Riemann Solver at junction is given and a complete implementation of this model is then presented, together with some results from computational experiences on different real case studies of road networks

    Exponential queuing system with negative customers and bunker for ousted customers

    Consideration was given to the queuing system with Poisson flows of incoming positive and negative customers. For the positive customers, there is an infinite-capacity buffer. The arriving negative customer knocks out a positive customer queued in the buffer and moves it to an infinite-capacity buffer of ousted customers (bunker). If the buffer is empty, then the negative customer discharges the system without affecting it. After servicing the current customer, the server receives a customer from the buffer or, if the buffer is empty, the bunker. The customers arriving from both the buffer and bunker are distributed exponentially with the same parameter. Relations for calculation of the stationary distributions of the queues in the buffer and bunker were obtained

    Modelling emergencies with a priority stochastic system

    The aim of this work is to analyze the Italian emergency system, particularly the Italian radio communication system 118 for the region Campania, and to investigate the effects of the management of different users having different gravity codes for the required services. The real system under consideration can be modelled with a tandem queueing network. The first node describes the calls of users, and can be seen as an exponential queueing system. The second node describes the assistance means communication apparatus with the headquarters of 118 and, in the actual real system, works in such way that it can be modeled as a M/M/c/infinity queue, where c are the couple of frequencies. We propose a radio communication system modelled as a M4/M4/c/infinity queueing system with priority service discipline. For the computation of analytical results, we reduce the number of gravity codes, modeling the second node with a M2/M/c/infinity queueing system with priorities

    No full text
    The aim of this work is to investigate the effect on learning performance of the use of Virtual Scientific Experiments, realized using a learning model able to support and improve the e-learning environment IWT. The models consists in different implication phases: Active Situation, Collaborative Learning, Assessment, Addressed Situation, Knowledge Institutionalization. In particular a Virtual Scientific Experiment for Self-Similar Processes has been realized to highlight the singular nature of multimedial traffic compared with the telephonic one
