Mathematical methods for the configuration of transportation systems with a focus on continuous and modular matrix conveyors

The lack of flexibility in logistic systems currently market leads to the development of new innovative transportation systems. In order to find the optimal configuration of such a system depending on the current goal  functions, for example minimization of transport times  and maximization of the throughput, various mathematical methods of multi-criteria optimization are applicable. In this work, the concept of a complex transportation system is presented. Furthermore, the question of finding  the optimal configuration of such a system through mathematical methods of optimization is considered.
