In the Tatun mountain area of northern Taiwan are two strong motion stations approximately 2.5 km apart, TAP056 and TAP066 of the TSMIP network. The accelerometer at station TAP056 is often triggered by earthquakes, but that at TAP066 station is not. Comparisons of vertical and horizontal peak ground accelerations reveal PGA in the vertical, east-west, and north-south components at TAP056 stati...

In the metropolitan areas in Japan, in many stations, shopping areas are set up, and escalators and elevators are installed to make the stations be barrier-free. Further, many areas around the stations are being redeveloped. Railway business operators want to know how much effect these circumstances have on attractiveness of the station or number of passengers using the station. So, we performe...

A tandem retrial queue consisting of two stations is studied. The first station has a single server. An input flow at the first station is described by the Markovian Arrival Process ( MAP ). If a customer from this flow meets the busy server, it goes to the orbit of infinite size and tries its luck later on in exponentially distributed random time. The service time distribution at the first sta...
