By doing this I hope to be able to simulate opening enough pumps in order to create waiting times less than 1 minute, what I would be willing to wait at a petrol station for petrol. The way in which I will do this is by collecting sufficient data from my local garage that would enable me to simulate 20 cars using the petrol station. The data of which I will need to collect to complete a simple simulation is: Arrival Time of Each Car: This will allow me to calculate an inter arrival time of which is needed to simulate the time in between cars arriving at my garage. Arrival Time of Car n+1 - Arrival Time of Car n = Inter Arrival Time n =...
