Analysis of Querétaro-Celaya Highway Applying Queueing Theory

摘要

Querétaro-Celaya highway is the obligatory road to the center of Mexico;the establishment of new companies in the area has generated the need to study the dynamics of the vehicular flow that transits this route.Given that the flow of traffic on a highway is a stochastic phenomenon,it is necessary to apply tools that take into account the randomness of the system to measure performance.Queueing theory models capture the random nature of the phenomenon and provide direct information about the relationship between the variables of the system.In this work,the flow of vehicles on the Querétaro-Celaya highway is analyzed with a macroscopic approach and using analytical models of queueing theory;it is concluded that currently the flow on this road is non-congested.The method is an alternative for institutions that do not have specialized packages to carry out studies of this nature.
