Connict Resolution in Agv Systems
Currently, connict-free routing in AGV systems is established by means of one of the following three approaches: (i) the problem elimination through the adoption of a segmented path ow or tandem queue connguration, (ii) the identiication of imminent collisions through forward sensing and their aversion through vehicle backtracking and/or rerouting, or (iii) the imposition of zone control and ex...
متن کاملComparison of Bottleneck Detection Methods for Agv Systems
The performance of a manufacturing or logistic system is determined by its constraints. Therefore, in order to improve the performance, it is necessary to improve the constraints, also known as the bottlenecks. Finding the bottlenecks, however, is not easy. This paper compares the two most common bottleneck detection methods, based on the utilization and the waiting time, with the shifting bott...
متن کاملA Branch and Bound Method for Finding Flow Path Designing of Agv Systems (RESEARCH NOTE)
One of the important factor in the design of automated guided vehicle systems (AGVS) is the flow path design. This paper presents a branch-and-bound algorithm to determining the flow path by considering not only loaded-vehicles, but also empty-vehicles. The objective is to find the flow path, which will minimize total travel of loaded vehicles. We know that in branch-and-bound method a branch c...
متن کاملA multi-agent architecture for control of AGV systems
Agent is an autonomous, computational entity that can be viewed as perceiving its environment and acting upon it. Agents are event-driven objects that can be integrated in automated manufacturing environments to control certain tasks. In this paper a set of agents (a multi-agent system) is introduced to control an automated manufacturing environment. The architecture includes functions at the m...
متن کاملTESTBED FOR INVESTIGATION OF TANDEM AGV SYSTEMS Leon Bing - Shiun Chuang
A tandem, one vehicle per loop, approach to Automated Guided Vehicle System (AGVS) guide path design has been proposed as a more efficient and flexible alternative to traditional AGV system design. The tandem design can substantially simplify the design task while providing even further flexibility for changes in production system layout and operation. Tandem guide paths, however, have potentia...
