Automation of the conceptual design stage for material handling systems: Development of an automated design model for the conceptual design phase of baggage handling systems

Baggage handling systems (BHS), are complex and integrate systems hidden within an airport. In this thesis, a model is developed which can generate BHS concept design automatically. This means that the model defines the type and amount of equipment needed and is able to develop a 3D model that can be used for volume reservation. The model takes...
