Abstract


This paper builds some public toilet analytical models based on the M/M/s queuing system. And it analyses the performance metrics of traditional public toilet (Tradition1) with n cubicles in both women’s and men’s, traditional public toilet (Tradition2) with 2n cubicles in women’s and n cubicles in men’s, and unisex public toilet by numerically simulating the queueing models. The results illustrate that the performances of unisex public toilet and Tradition2 are obviously better than the one of Tradition1. Therefore, unisex public toilet and Tradition2 can provide an idea and theoretical basis for solving the problem of the lady's queue.
