Abstract:

This is an adoptive design of ant colony system and has been generalised to AGV transport system, predetermined targets replacement results has been evaluated simulating four AGV in Mat lab by Particle Algorithm and fuzzification and simulating the operative environment with regard to constant velocity and different results has been compared to each other by changing robots’ location and replacement of obstacles in the environment and using laser guidance system. Optimising considered sensor’s arrays led to more efficient and faster feedback. Regarding improvements mentioned, AGVs passing the obstacles with ease, choosing the shortest distance to the target and are flexible enough in case of one of the AGVs failure. 1- The AGV that has worked less than the others (from distance perspective), 2- the AGV which has been the closest to the failed AGV and 3- the AGV that has replaced fewer load. in fact, the system was able to operate more efficiently than when using an AGV.

Design of stable fuzzy controllers for an AGV

Fuzzy logic control is a relatively new technology and hence it needs rigorous comparative analyses with other well-established conventional control schemes. Further, fuzzy controller stability analysis is a major hindrance for its popularity among control engineers. This paper shows how stable &zzy controllers may be synthesized for a typical AGV from the perspective of variable structure syst...

THE IDENTIFICATION OF EFFICIENCY BY USING FUZZY NUMBERS

In original Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) models for measuring the relative efficiencies of a set of Decision Making Units (DMUs) using various inputs to produce various outputs are limited to crisp data. To deal with imprecise data, the notion of fuzziness has been introduced. this paper develops a procedure to measure the efficiencies of DMUs with fuzzy observations. The basic idea is to tr...

Evaluating Cost Efficiency in Fuzzy Environment by Using Expected Value

Today, one of the most fundamental issues within the field of industrial and nonindustrial activities is evaluate the costs performance of the units which are associated with industrial and nonindustrial activities. Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a nonparametric method for evaluating performance. Fuzzy sets theory is a powerful tool for mentioning ambiguous situations. Traditional DEA model...

Evaluation of AGV routeing strategies using hierarchical simulation

To analyse an automated guided vehicle (AGV) system operating under selected vehicle routeing strategies, we present a simulation model that can handle an arbitrary system layout as well as arbitrary numbers of AGVs and pedestrians causing congestion in the system. We introduce a dynamic vehicle routeing strategy based on hierarchical simulation that operates as follows: at the time of each AGV...

Cooperative Ant Colonies for Optimizing Resource Allocation in Transportation

In this paper we propose an ACO approach, where two colonies of ants aim to optimize total costs in a transportation network. This main objective consists of two sub goals, namely fleet size minimization and minimization of the vehicle movement costs, which are conflicting for some regions of the solution space. Thus, our two ant colonies optimize one of these subgoals each and communicate info...

AGV Robot Control by using FPGA

In this paper, the robot with three wheels is implement and its motion is controlled . two of robot’s wheels are activated by DC motors. The main PID controllers are implemented with a Field Programmable Gate Array(FPGA) for independent robot movement . a FPGA controller communicate with a PC with PCI card(PLX9052) so that the movement of wheels can be displayed on the monitor through PCI card ...
