COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF A TWO-CHANNEL QUEUEING SYSTEM WITH ADAPTIVE AND CONSTANT SERVICE PARAMETERS UNDER ADAPTIVE CONTROL CONDITIONS
Abstract and keywords
Abstract:
This paper investigates a two-channel queueing system without a buffer applied to two equivalent service systems. System 1 operates according to a classical scheme with a constant service time, whereas System 2 is equipped with a cyber-physical controller (CPS) that adapts a controllable service parameter u based on the current number of jobs n in the system. The adaptation law is defined as u(n) = min{u0·(1 + β·n); umax}, and the service time is represented as the sum of constant and variable components: T(n) = Tconst + Tvar/(1 + β·n). Baseline parameters are specified as a model calculation scenario sufficient for comparing two control policies without reference to a specific physical object. The comparative analysis was performed by discrete-event simulation in Python using the SimPy library. The experiment included 50 independent runs for each of 30 scenarios with λ ∈ {55, 60, 65, 70, 75, 80} requests/h and β ∈ {0.05, 0.10, 0.15, 0.20, 0.25}, totalling 1,500 runs. The results show that the adaptive system outperforms the classical one in all investigated scenarios: throughput gain ranges from 1.1% under low load to 5.8% under high load. The greatest effect is observed at higher load levels, where the probability of input-flow blocking increases. The optimal zone β ∈ [0.15; 0.20] at λ ≥ 70 requests/h yields a 3.5-4.8% gain while satisfying the specified model constraints. These results confirm the applicability of state-dependent control for increasing the throughput of two-channel systems without changing their structure.
