Abstract
We propose the M|G|∞ queue system to analyze a situation at
which conventional motor vehicles will be out of use as far as the usual
energy sources will be exhausted. Two possibilities are posed: recycling or
dismantling. Using the hazard rate function we conclude that when the rate
of dismantling and recycling of motor vehicles is greater than the rate at
which they become idle, the situation tends to get balanced. The motor
vehicles that are unused with the conventional energies either turn useful
with another kind of energies or are included in other useful devices.
