Abstract The analysis of the discrete events systems and particularly of automatic transport systems with accumulation areas can be made using sequential automata model. The aim of this paper is to establish some connections between a sequential automata model and a Petri net model: first for a nod with one input and one output and the second for a nod with two inputs and two outputs, based on basic elements of the automatic transport systems with accumulation areas. In this article, untimed sequential automata and untimed Petri nets have been used for modelling, time being not a defining element for this modelling. References [1] C. G. Cassandras and S.
