There are relatively fewer studies on the security-check waiting lines for screening cargo containers using queueing models. In this paper, we address two important measures at a security-check system, which are concerning the security screening effectiveness and the efficiency. The goal of this paper is to provide a modelling framework to understand the economic trade-offs embedded in container-inspection...
In this paper, an analytical model is developed for evaluating the risk of deferred repair under an inspection policy. The models of failures and risk evaluation are developed using probability, stochastic process and the delay time concept. The cases of perfect inspection and imperfect inspection are considered respectively. The performance of the proposed model is illustrated by an example, and...
