A dispatch cycle contains interarrival times and has mean length . The expected total passenger waiting time in one cycle is
The renewal-reward average cost rate is therefore
Thus the continuous optimum is , and the integer optimum is the positive integer minimizing ; equivalently it is the smallest with
with both adjacent values optimal in the equality case.
The lifetime is uniform on with mean . The equilibrium age and excess densities are both
Hence, for ,
The observed total lifetime is length-biased, so
Campbell's formula for a Poisson point process gives
Expanding separates equal and distinct Poisson points. The factorial-moment formula gives
Subtracting the square of the mean yields
