Multi-objective evacuation routing in transportation networks
TL;DR: An integer programming (IP) formulation for optimal route assignment is presented, which utilizes M/G/c/c state dependent queueing models to cope with congestion and time delays on road links.

Queueing networks and the topological design of supply chain systems
TL;DR: In this article, a methodology based on analytical queueing networks coupled with nonlinear optimization is developed to design supply chain topologies and evaluate various performance measures, and the results obtained from small network configurations as well as from the case study discussed in the paper demonstrate that their approach is a very useful tool to analyze congestion problems and to evaluate the performance of the network topologies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stochastic network evacuation models
TL;DR: This paper compares an analytical closed queueing network and a simulation model for analyzing the evacuation of occupants from a hospital and finds that the simulation model is superior.
