The traversal time is just the conveyorlength/speed if there is no accumulation and you're considering the same point on the item. Do you have an example as I feel I've missed something ?

If you want to know how fast to run the conveyor, then the question is more complicated and involves knowing how much free capacity you want while it's running; the size of the items and the expected item rates.
