Abstract
State-of-the-art baggage handling systems transport luggage in an automated way
using destination coded vehicles (DCVs). These vehicles transport the bags at
high speeds on a network of tracks. Currently, the DCVs are routed through the
system using routing schemes based on preferred routes. These routing schemes
respond to the occurrence of predefined events. We do not consider such
predefined preferred routes. Instead we develop advanced control methods to
determine the optimal routing in case of dynamic demand. In order to optimize
the performance of the system we first develop and compare efficient
centralized, decentralized, and distributed predictive methods. Next, to reduce
the computational requirements, we also propose some heuristic methods.
Finally, to assess the performance of the proposed control approaches, the
methods are compared for several scenarios on a benchmark case study.
