MODELING APPROACH TO SIMULTANEOUS SCHEDULING BATTERIES AND VEHICLES IN MATERIALS HANDLING SYSTEMS
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL FOR TRAFFIC AND TRANSPORT ENGINEERING - Year 2015, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
Battery operated handling equipment is the most widely applied concept in materials handling and logistic systems in general. The problem related to its application is in defining the most appropriate scheduling batteries and vehicles to handling tasks. Although the problem can be found in literature very often as very important, solution approaches are very rare and almost don’t exist. This paper presents one of possible solving approaches to the problem, considering the optimal assignment of resources (batteries and vehicles) to material handling tasks. Modeling approach proposed is illustrated by a few numerical examples.
