Mechanical feasibility and decentralized control algorithms of small-scale, multi-directional transport modules
Krühn, Tobias; Sohrt, Simon; Overmeyer, Ludger - In: Logistics Research 9 (2016) 1, pp. 1-14
In this paper, we describe a conveyor matrix consisting of small-scale, multi-directional transport modules that are considerably smaller than the transported packets. If a large number of these modules are combined into a matrix, the emerging network solves transport tasks through cooperation...

Performance Evaluation of Real-time Scheduling Approaches in Vehicle-based Internal Transport Systems
Le-Anh, Le-Anh, T.; de Koster, de Koster, M.B.M.; Yu, Yu, Y. - Erasmus Research Institute of Management (ERIM), … - 2006
This paper studies the performance of static and real-time scheduling approaches in vehicle-based internal transport (VBIT) systems, which can be found in manufacturing and warehouse facilities. We propose three heuristic approaches for static VBIT problems (insertion, combined and column...

A closed queueing networks approach for an optimal heterogeneous fleet size of an inter-facility bulk material transfer system
Amjath, Mohamed; Kerbache, Laoucine; Smith, James MacGregor - In: Logistics 8 (2024) 1, pp. 1-38
Background: This study addresses optimising fleet size in a system with a heterogeneous truck fleet, aiming to minimise transportation costs in interfacility material transfer operations. Methods: The material transfer process is modelled using a closed queueing network (CQN) that considers...
