Abstract :
Material handling systems are usually modeled as discrete event systems. However, when the size of these systems grows, the overall system performances depend also on continuous time phenomena. We present a hybrid model based on a new Petri net formalism that merges the concepts of Hybrid Petri Nets and Colored Petri Nets to obtain compact models for these systems. An example is discussed in detail to motivate the introduction of a new formalism.
