Intelligent modular transport system with object behavioral pattern recognition and traffic management

摘要

Invention describes apparatus as closed-loop intelligent Object Transport System with Object Behavioral Pattern analysis and recognition for applications, including automatic self-check-out lanes at grocery, retail stores. Invention calculates Objects Behavioral Patterns, Object Expected Behavioral Pattern ranges for each Object or Group of Objects and stores information at central data base. Invention, based on Object barcode, obtains from central data base Expected Object Behavioral Pattern and compares to calculated real-time Objects Behavioral Pattern, and based on preset acceptance criteria, the System automatically without intervention by operator, executes real-time process controls to regulate traffic of Objects. Example of acceptance criteria: protection of fragile Objects from colliding with heavy Objects and rejection of Object outside the range of Object Expected Behavioral Patterns. Invention performs real-time Object traffic management, regulating acceleration, deceleration, speed and direction of motion of Objects. Invention performs process control over Objects, including application of heat.
