Modeling of a station in CVS and an approach to analyze distributions of time intervals of vehicles departed from the station

A stochastic model is developed for an off-line station with a single berth in a computer-controlled vehicle system (CVS). Distributions of time intervals with departures of four types of vehicles from the station are derived by using conditional first passage-times between states on an aggregated Markov chain. We show an algorithm to allow a convenient analysis.
