Abstract
This paper proposes a new strategy for control of baggage handling
systems. Three main control issues in baggage handling systems,
namely, routing and scheduling problem, 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 that can be solved efficiently, and
hence can be extended to large-scale baggage handling systems. The
applicability and performance of the proposed approach is illustrated
by a case study.
