CONVOY RETARDATION INDUCED BY RANDOM EVENTS.
Abstract
Exogeneous events occurring as a Poisson process are assumed to cause stoppage in the normal operation of convoys, equipment or other systems such as traffic. The operational delay experienced by each stoppage is assumed to have an exponential distribution. By introducing appropriate state variables, a hyperbolic partial differential equation is set up; expressions for the probability that at a given time the operation has registered at least a given number of cumulative performance units (e.g. distance) and for the probability that the operation has registered a given number of cumulative performance units on or before a specified time are obtained.
