Automated guided vehicles (AGVs) form a large and important part of the logistics
transportation systems in today's industry and are widely used. One of the main problems in …

A multi-AGV based logistic system is typically associated with two fundamental problems,
critical for its overall performance: the AGV's route planning for collision and deadlock …

Because of their routing flexibility, automated guided vehicles (AGVs) have been used in
many manufacturing systems, especially those in which parts with diverse and complex …

One of the advances in computer-aided production is the application of computer control to
automated material handling systems. Computer control is especially important to …

Automated Guided Vehicles (or AGVs for short) are now widely used in automated material
handling systems. Much research has been done on developing path layout and algorithms …

A fundamental problem in the management of an automated guided vehicle system (AGVS)
is the determination of the load to be transported and the vehicle to transport it. The time for …

Current manufacturing systems have a tendency to become more and more flexible to adapt
to the needs of product diversification. Such a system, eg flexible manufacturing system …

This paper presents work performed to address design and operational control issues for an
