Abstract
This paper proposes a new strategy for integrated control of baggage handling
systems. Three main control issues in baggage handling systems, 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 programming problem, which can be solved very
efficiently, and hence the proposed approach can be extended to large-scale
baggage handling systems. We illustrate the applicability and performance of
the proposed approach by a case study, and we compare the results with the
state-of-the-art method currently used for baggage handling systems.
