Investigation of the operation mode at Ruse-Danube Bridge border checkpoint considered to be a mass service system with incoming flow of automobiles at a non-stationary mode of operation

Abstract

The present work reviews the Ruse-Danube Bridge border checkpoint and the work carried out for a year, by examining the average daily incoming flows of cargo vehicles. On the basis of the information collected, the daily irregularity of the work at the Ruse-Danube Bridge border checkpoint has been assessed and the system has been modelled as a mass service system to assess capacities in existing infrastructure and organization of work. The type of incoming flow has been specified as a non-stationary Poisson flow. Under non-stationary conditions, the basic values of the system parameters have been calculated and a MatLab application has been created. A system of differential-algebraic equations has been selected for a model according to Kolmogorov model for stochastic processes.
