Abstract

This paper considers a fixed-cycle and a semi vehicular-actuated traffic light queue with strictly stationary arrivals and independent and identically distributed departure headways and lost times. These queues are reduced to a generalized model of Loynes and sufficient conditions are derived under which these queues have stationary distributions. Two typical examples of semi vehicular-actuated traffic light queues are discussed.
