A transport method and system that operates to feed mixed size mail pieces in singular fashion and adaptively controls the velocity of the mail pieces such that overall system performance is optimized is provided. The length of a mail piece is measured and a desired gap time between the mail piece and a subsequent mail piece is calculated. The gap time between the mail piece and the subsequent mail piece is measured, and a difference between the desired gap time and measured gap time is calculated. Based on the calculated gap time difference, the velocity of the subsequent mail piece is adaptively controlled to decrease the difference between the desired gap time and the measured gap time such that the measured gap time is adjusted to be approximately equal to the desired gap time, thereby optimizing throughput of the mailing system.
L'invention concerne un procédé et un système de transport servant à alimenter des envois postaux de dimensions mixtes de manière séparée et régulant la vitesse de défilement desdits envois postaux, de sorte à optimiser le rendement du système dans son ensemble. La longueur d'un envoi postal est mesurée et un écart de temps voulu entre l'envoi postal concerné et un envoi postal subséquent est calculé. L'écart de temps entre l'envoi postal et l'envoi postal subséquent est mesuré et une différence entre l'écart de temps voulu et l'écart de temps mesuré est calculé. Sur la base de la différence d'écart de temps calculée, la vitesse de l'envoi postal subséquent est régulée de manière adaptative, afin de réduire la différence entre l'écart de temps voulu et l'écart de temps mesuré, pour que l'écart de temps mesuré soit ajusté pour être approximativement égal à l'écart de temps voulu, ce qui permet d'optimiser le rendement du système postal.
