CSE31PAR Supplementary Assignment Page 1998

The assignment question asks you to propose a petri net which models the movement of trucks belonging to a trucking company. The final objective is to evaluate the performance of the system and to answer some questions related to the operation of a trucking company to help them to optimise their operation.

The questions that the company would like to answer are,

  1. Does the scheduling policy and daily demand for trucks result in a shortage of trucks in any depot?
  2. What is the minimum and maximum number of trucks in each of the depots over the course of a week of operation?
  3. What was the average number of trucks in each of the depots over one week of operation?
