Simulation and histogram modeling of conveyor systems

Abstract

Abstract Using the example of transport conveyor systems, an approach that reduces the cost of resources and time for the development and application of a computer simulation model during the design of the system, which provides a combination of simulation with the method of histogram calculations, which is one of the numerical methods for working with random variables, is proposed. The approach involves replacing a unified simulation model of a system with a complex of submodels of its components, accumulating intermediate results on the basis of submodels and subsequent histogram processing of these results in order to determine the probabilistic characteristics and performance indicators of the system. An example of a histogram simulation of an airport baggage handling system is presented.
