Article: The impact of acceleration/deceleration on travel-time models for automated storage/retrieval systems.

1. Introduction

Travel-time models for the storage/retrieval (S/R) machine in the automated storage/retrieval system (AS/RS) under randomized storage were proposed by Bozer and White (BW) (1984). Both single and dual command cycles, alternative I/O station locations and various dwell-point strategies for the S/R machine were considered. Bozer and White assumed constant S/R machine velocity in calculating the travel time. However, if unique S/R machine speeds are considered, their results can be adjusted to account for acceleration/deceleration, which was initially proposed by Gudehus (abbreviated GBW (1973)). Hwang and Lee (1990) (HL) recently presented travel-time ...
