Simulating Dynamic Dependencies And Blockages In In-Plant Milk-Run Traffic Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
To provide efficient and flexible material transport, inplant milk-run systems are used by many companies. However, the large number of influencing factors makes in-plant milk-run systems complex, while dependencies and blockages, e.g. overtaking or stopping, require a dynamic approach to examination. Thus we developed a generic simulation model focusing on traffic situations in in-plant road systems, and defined meaningful performance figures, e.g. capacity efficiency and cycle time. The application to a system of industrial practice enabled us to derive recommendations for planning inplant milk-run systems. Space for overtaking, the number of trains passing or supplying a stop as well as the directions a stop is approached from were found to be main influencing factors.

Dynamic routing for milk-run tours with time windows in stochastic time-dependent networks
We consider finding static yet robust recurring milk-run tours while dynamically routing the vehicle between site visits. The network arcs experience recurrent congestion, leading to stochastic and time-dependent travel times. Based on vehicle location, time of day, and current and projected network congestion states, we generate dynamic routing policies (DRP) for every pair of sites using stoc...
متن کاملAn Optimal Dynamic Control Method for an Isolated Intersection Using Fuzzy Systems
Traffic flow systems are nonlinear and uncertain, so it is very difficult to find their optimal points. In traditional traffic control systems, the traffic lights of crossings change in a fixed time period that is not optimal. On the other hand, most proposed systems are sufficiently capable of coping with the uncertainties of traffic flow. To solve this problem, there is a need to develop expe...

An experimental database is compiled in order to fingerprint the scales formed over the hot surfaces of heat exchangers, in cooling water systems or other systems with similar chemistry. To collect these data, a dynamic simulating pilot plant was designed with considerable application flexibility among which simultaneous flow of water with different velocity and heat fluxes to three simulat...
متن کاملLiterature Review of Traffic Assignment: Static and Dynamic
Rapid urban growth is resulting into increase in travel demand and private vehicle ownership in urban areas. In the present scenario the existing infrastructure has failed to match the demand that leads to traffic congestion, vehicular pollution and accidents. With traffic congestion augmentation on the road, delay of commuters has increased and reliability of road network has decreased. Four s...
