Abstract

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Ermittlung von Überlappungen bei der Vereinzelung von Sendungen in einer Sendungsverteilanlage unter Verwendung von n unterschiedlichen Messungen zu jedem Abzug, die jeweils bei bestimmten Meßwerten ein Indiz für eine Überlappung darstellen. Zur Erhöhung der Sicherheit bei der Ermittlung der Überlappungen gegenüber jeder einzelnen Messung wird jedem ermittelten Indiz eine Wahrscheinlichkeit P (µi) für eine Überlappung zugeordnet, die vorher in einer statistischen Erhebung anhand einer größeren Menge von repräsentativen Testsendungen ermittelt wurde. Eine Gesamtwahrscheinlichkeit P für eine Überlappung aus dein Einzelindizien und deren zugehörigen Wahrscheinlichkeiten wird nach der Beziehung

ermittelt. Bei Überschreiten einer gewählten Grenzwahrscheinlichkeit Pg wird eine Überlappung gemeldet.

The invention relates to a method for determining overlaps when separating mail items in a mailing distribution system using n different measurements for each deduction, each of which is an indication of an overlap for certain measured values. In order to increase the certainty when determining the overlaps with respect to each individual measurement, a probability P (μ i ) for an overlap is assigned to each determined indicator, which was previously determined in a statistical survey using a larger number of representative test items. An overall probability P for an overlap from the individual indicators and their associated probabilities is given by the relationship

determined. If a selected limit probability Pg is exceeded, an overlap is reported.
