Staffing to Stabilize the Tail Probability of Delay in Service Systems with Time-Varying Demand

OPERATIONS RESEARCH, 66(2), 514–534.

By: Y. Liu n

author keywords: staffing algorithms; service systems; capacity planning; many-server queues; efficiency-driven; time-varying arrivals; queues with abandonment; nonstationary queues; nonexponential distributions
TL;DR: Analytic formulas are developed to set the time-dependent number of servers to stabilize the tail probability of customer waiting times for the Gt/GI/st + GI queueing model, which has a nonstationary non-Poisson arrival process, nonexponential service times, and allows customer abandonment according to a nonexp exponential patience distribution.

Effect of police mobile computer terminal interface design on officer driving distraction

APPLIED ERGONOMICS, 67, 26–38.

By: M. Zahabi n & D. Kaber n

author keywords: Mobile computer terminal; Driver performance; Attention allocation; Workload; Situation awareness
MeSH headings : Adult; Attention; Computer Simulation; Computer Terminals; Distracted Driving / psychology; Female; Humans; Male; Middle Aged; Police / psychology; Task Performance and Analysis; User-Computer Interface; Workload / psychology; Young Adult
TL;DR: Results suggest that use of MCTs while driving significantly reduces perceived level of driving environment awareness for police officers and increases cognitive workload, which may be useful for MCT manufacturers in improving interface designs to increase police officer and civilian safety.
