System landscapes within logistical scenarios is highly heterogenic. Adding specific mechanisms, e.g. to support planing, monitoring and analyses for fully electrical powered vehicles, could become a mess or at least a challenge. While our project Smart City Logistic (SCL) is trying to manage this extension for multiple logistic scenarios, other projects want to do comparable system extensions as...
For the question that how to show the emergency supply in the software, a mathematical model is developed in this paper. The mathematical model distinguishes connecting sides, nodes from different networks, which includes modeling events as material information, information of transporting vehicles, scheduling schemes, and disaster points. Then according to requirements of the modeling elements and...
Logistics system is an important element for the engine production line, and the automation degree affects the efficiency of the production line. This paper presents an automatic logistics system for the engine cylinder block production line, based on a type identification and tracking subsystem, and an automatic transmission and storage subsystem. The logistics system achieves the mixed manufacturing...
Engineering collective adaptive systems (CAS) is a challenging task. Concurrent systems, esp. when being large-scale, are known to be hard to design as the overall system behavior non-linearly results from local behavior and interactions. They are also hard to engineer and debug, as time dependent errors are often hard to reproduce. Simulation tools and environments are often used to assist in this...
Flexsim software can model discrete-time system; it is an ideal choice to plan the distribution center simulation and logistics system. The paper is according to the Flexsim system simulation software, comparative analyzing the distinguish of different picking strategy of distribution center, qualitative analyzing many types of applicability and relative merits of picking strategies, discussing the...
The radio frequency identification (RFID) technology is a kind of advanced automatic identification technology, and is more and more widely used in the fields of transportation and logistics. Vehicle management system was established, which has Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 as development platform and SQL Server 2000 database as its background database. Four functions have been realized in this management...
This paper will use the WITNESS simulation software to conduct systematic research on the production logistics of coal enterprises, which is able to save the costs and time at utmost. Through the dynamic running of the system, we could make out the bottlenecks in production logistics very quickly and make sure the balance of each node. Through the WITNESS optimization module, we could optimize the...
Combined transport of commercial vehicles by trains is in operation between designated endpoint railway terminals on several subcontinents, e.g. Western Europe, United States and India. Up to now this requires that drivers accompany their commercial vehicles in a separate passenger car which makes this form of transport uncomfortable, inflexible and costly, resulting in that trucks on trains constitute...
Fleet management is an important topic in research and development nowadays. Companies, security and emergency forces need to keep track of their trucks and cars and know where a vehicle is at a moment in time, and when, where and for how long a vehicle stopped. In this paper, a system for automating fleet management systems is described. The hardware of our system is a microprocessor-based embedded...
