Abstract
This paper proposes an efficient solution approach for the line balancing
problem in state-of-the-art baggage handling systems that are based on
destination coded vehicles that transport the bags from their origins to their
destinations. First, a simple event-driven model of the process is presented.
Next, this model is applied within the context of model predictive control to
determine the optimal number of destination coded vehicles to be dispatched
from the central depot to each loading station. The performance criterion is
minimizing the overall baggage waiting time as well as the energy consumption.
