Linear Regression Model of the Conveyor Type Transport System

Abstract

This article discusses the prospects of using linear regression models to describe multi-section branched transport systems of conveyor type. A characteristic feature of the functioning of a multi-section transport system is the presence of resonant peak values for the flow parameters of the transport system and transport delay. Various variants of the linear regression model are investigated. It is shown that for multisection transport systems with a periodic nature of the magnitude of the incoming material flow into the transport system and periodic nature of the regulation of the belt speed the value of the transport delay is a quasi-stationary value. The transport delay can be excluded from model variables. Analysis of the various variants of linear regression models considered in the article shows that using them to describe branched transport systems is ineffective. The considered models can only be used for a qualitative analysis of the output stream from the transport system. The absence of a linear relationship between the input and output flow parameters of the transport system is shown
