Dear all,

I am trying to model an airport terminal with conveyor belts with luggage on top of them which agents can pick up. Is it possible to model this within Pedestrian Dynamics? And if yes, how? The closest thing I have found is the escalator, but that is not quite what I am looking for. Does anybody have any suggestions on how to model this?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Dear simon,

unfortunatily PD does not offer the modelling of conveyor belts. The focus of the software lies with the modelling of passengers flows. In PD the conveyor can be modelled as a "black-box" process at which the passenger has to wait, until he receive his/her suitcase.

if you really want to model conveyors systems in details, i propose to take a look our logistic simulatino software enterprise dynamics. www.enterprisedynamics.com.
