Abstract
In this paper we develop advanced control methods for routing individual
vehicles which ensure automatic transportation of bags in a baggage handling
system of an airport. In particular we consider distributed model predictive
control and a distributed heuristic control approach. The baggage handling
system performs efficiently if all the bags are transported to the
corresponding end points within a specific time window, and this makes the
process of handling baggage time-critical. The proposed control approaches are
effective for the given application. To assess their performance we consider a
benchmark case study, in which the methods are compared for several scenarios.
Results indicate that the distributed approaches improve the performance of the
vehicle-based baggage handling system with up to 20%.
