摘要:AbstractThe transport systems considered in this paper are conveyor belts or conduit systems, which are mainly used for two operational tasks. The first objective is the transportation of goods between subsequent process stages, the second one is the conditioning of the transported goods by a spatially acting control input along the transportation path. The control task under consideration is defined by a setpoint change of the subsequent process stage by a constrained control input. To obtain the desired properties of the goods at the end of the transportation path, an optimal feedforward control approach is developed.
