This paper presents a review on design and control of automated guided vehicle systems.
We address most key related issues including guide-path design, determining vehicle …

Recent trends towards larger and more complex systems necessitate the use of
heterogeneous and flexible automated guided vehicles (AGVs) to fulfill the transport …

To reduce delay in ship operations in automated container terminals, it is important to make
different types of container handling equipment to operate harmoniously during this …

We consider a container terminal discharging containers from a ship and locating them in
the terminal yard. Each container has a number of potential locations in the yard where it …

This paper is concerned with AGV dispatching in seaport container terminals. Special
attention is given to multi-load vehicles which can carry more than one container at a time …

This paper presents a flexible framework to simulate transport systems based on automated
guided vehicles (AGVs). The framework used to perform the simulation also serves to …

Abstract Multi-load Automated Guided Vehicle's (AGV) are regarded as a potential tool to
tackle the low-efficiency issue that have plagued traditional single-load AGV systems for …

Motivated by realistic needs to enhance the productivity for 200-mm wafer fabs, this paper
aims to propose a novel approach for manual material handling system (MMHS) to mimic …

The pickup dispatching and the load selection are two control problems in multiple-load
AGVs. Although they affect each other and are affected by various attributes, many …

Abstract Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) are driverless carriers that automatically
navigate along planned paths by means of several guidance and control methods. This …
