Simulation analysis of models for estimation of empty travel time of vehicles in non-automated material handling systems



In designing or redesigning a facility like manufacturing plant or warehouse, an integral part is a proper selection of material handling system. Despite large alternatives, including automated material handling systems with conveyors or automated guided vehicles, most facilities today use for material handling man-driving vehicles (non-automated discrete material handling system). Proper design of such systems requires determination of required number of vehicles. Determination of empty vehicle travel time is based on either time consuming simulation or non-simulation approach using estimation.
The main goal of this paper is to review and analyse some proposed methods for empty travel time estimation of non-automated discrete material handling systems. Results obtained by estimation methods are compared with the simulation results.

Host city and venue - Vienna

Vienna (Wien) is the federal capital and largest city of Austria, and one of the nine states of Austria. Vienna is Austria's primate city, with a population of about 1.9 million (2.6 million within the metropolitan area, nearly one third of Austria's population), and its cultural, economic, and political centre. It is the 7th-largest city by population within city limits in the European Union.  Read more...
