Abstract

A supervisory controller design technique for multiple-AGV systems is presented in this paper. The guidepath is represented in the form of a network, and its modifications are easily tested. The network has two-layered structure, where the path sets between each two nodes are made in advance using the K-shortest path algorithm. Occupation times for all links are stored in link-occupation table, and are updated after the dispatching time. Dispatching and scheduling for each AGV are optimized in terms of minimum-time objectives. In all times, the paths are guaranteed to be conflict-free and deadlock-free. The simplicity and flexibility on this control scheme make the supervisory suitable for real applications.
