AN APPROXIMATION TO THE HYPERCUBE MODEL WITH PATROL‐INITIATED ACTIVITIES: AN APPLICATION TO POLICE
将巡逻启动活动超立方体排队模型应用于警察机构的历史数据，准确预测了整体和单个服务器的分配及自启动工作量，但无法预测小单位行程时间差异。
ABSTRACT This paper applies the patrol‐initiated‐activity hypercube queuing model to historical data from a police agency. The model allows servers to handle both calls assigned by a central dispatcher and activities initiated by the servers. By duplicating a fairly complex dispatch strategy, the model was found to predict both assigned and server‐initiated work loads accurately for the overall system and individual servers. The model is apparently ineffective in predicting small unit‐travel‐time differences for this police agency.
