Claim 7:
8. A method for container transportation, the method comprising:
receiving a starting location of a first container within a conveyor network, wherein the conveyor network comprises a plurality of conveyors, and wherein each of the conveyors defines a conveyor length and a conveyor operating speed;
receiving a destination location of the first container within the conveyor network;
receiving an operating density for each of the conveyors in the conveyor network;
determining a travel time for each of the conveyors in the conveyor network based on one or more of the conveyor length, the conveyor operating speed, the operating density, and historical performance of each of the conveyors in the conveyor network;
determining a first travel path for the first container between the starting location and the destination location based on the determined travel time;
predicting a location of the first container within the conveyor network based on the determined first travel path;
determining the operating density for each of the conveyors in the conveyor network based on the predicted location of the first container; and
modifying the first travel path based on the operating density.
