Application of Petri nets for transport streams modeling

Abstract

One of the possible methods for transport stream modeling is by using Petri's nets [1,2]. This approach turns out to be very convenient for achieving the desired tasks because of the following reasons: the Petri's nets [3] are based on causal-consequence connections found in abundance in transport problems and the graphical representation by means of the net elements is easily percieved by man, i.e. there an easy way of visualisation of the transport problem under consideration. Examples will be given of how transport problems are modeled.Petri mreze slijedan od mogucih koncepata za modelovanje transportnih tokova. Pokazuje se da je ovaj pristup veoma pogodan iz sledecih razloga: Petri mreze su zasnovane na uzrocno-posledicnim vezama koje cesto srecemo u transportnim problemima, a graficki prikaz elemenata mreze se lako prepoznaje od strane projektanata, sto znaci da se transportni problem lako realizuje. U radu su dati primeri modelovanja transportnih problema.
