Abstract

When baggage is disposed to baggage belts to be picked up by passengers, we often face situations of imbalanced load distribution throughout belts. Thus, passengers might be unnecessarily crowded tightly around some belts whereas other belts remain unoccupied at the same time, which is an unpleasant situation for passengers as well as for airport staff. Moreover, imbalanced load distribution over a longer period of time leads to unsynchronized maintenance intervals. To address this problem within an existing Constraint Programming approach, we present measures for both kinds of imbalance which are equivalent to minimizing the variance of load distribution but allow for monotonous lower and upper bounds as well as for effective (partial) computation. Results of our approach are illustrated with real planning data of a German airport.
