چکیده
This paper describes a multimodal transportation network (MTN) in which several unimodal networks (AGVs, hoists, lifts, suspended monorail systems, etc.) interact each other via common shared workstations as to provide a variety of demand-responsive workpiece transportation/handling services. The set of transport modes provides connection support for production flows treated as agents trying to realize their origin-destination routes in the MTN. The aim is to provide a declarative model enabling to state a constraint satisfaction problem aimed at multimodal transportation processes (MTP) scheduling, while servicing production flows. In other words, assuming a given topology of MTN, the main objective is to provide the declarative modeling framework enabling to refine conditions guaranteeing the MTP cyclic steady states reachability.

Cyclic Steady State Refinement: Multimodal Processes Perspective
The cyclic scheduling problem modeled in terms of Cyclic Concurrent Process Systems is considered. The problem can be seen as a kind of Diophantine problem, hence its solvability, i.e. schedulability, plays a pivotal role in many supply-chain problems. In contradiction to the traditionally offered solutions the approach proposed allows one to take into account such behavioral features as transi...
متن کاملMultimodal Processes Rescheduling
Cyclic scheduling problems concerning multimodal processes are usually observed in FMSs producing multi-type parts where the Automated Guided Vehicles System (AGVS) plays a role of a material handling system. Schedulability analysis of concurrently flowing cyclic processes (SCCP) executed in these kinds of systems can be considered using a declarative modeling framework. Proposed representation...

Problems of cyclic scheduling are usually observed in flexible manufacturing systems which produce multitype parts where the automated guided vehicle system plays the role of a material handling system, as well as in various other multimodal transportation systems where goods and/or passenger itinerary planning plays a pivotal role. The schedulability analysis of the processes executed in the s...
متن کاملCyclic Scheduling of Multimodal Concurrently Flowing Processes
The problem of cyclic scheduling of multimodal concurrent processes (MCPs) is considered. Processes composed of sub-sequences of local cyclic processes (LCPs) are treated as multimodal processes, e.g. in case local processes encompass the subway lines network the relevant multimodal processes can be seen as passengers traveling itineraries this network. Since LCPs network implies a MCPs behavio...
متن کاملToward Cyclic Scheduling of Concurrent Multimodal Processes
The problem of cyclic scheduling of multimodal cyclic processes (MCPs) is considered. The issue follows the production engineering and supply chains environment, where the imposition of the integer domain results (due to inherent process features such as discrete slot sizes, etc.) in the Diophantine character of a scheduling problem. Consequently, some classes of MCPs scheduling problems can be...
