This brief proposes a new strategy for integrated control of baggage-handling systems (BHS). Three main control issues in BHS, namely, routing and scheduling, empty-cart management, and line balancing, are identified and a combined control approach based on model predictive control is proposed to tackle these issues in an optimal way. It is shown that the control approach can be formulated as a linear...
The process of handling baggage in an airport is time-critical. Currently, the fastest way to transport the luggage is to use destination coded vehicles (DCVs). These vehicles transport the bags at high speed on a ldquominirdquo railway network. The route of each DCV has to be computed in order to optimize the performance of the system. In this paper we determine an event-based model of a DCV-based...
