AGV travel time estimation for an AGV-based transport system

Vehicle travel time (empty travel time pius loaded travel time) is a key parameter for designing AGV-based material handling systems. Especially, the determination of empty vehicle travel time is difficult because of the stochastic nature of the empty vehicle locations. This paper presents a method to estimate vehicle travel times for AGV-based material transport systems. The model considers probabilistic aspects for the travel time and vehicle location under random vehicle selection rule and nearest vehicle selection rule. The estimation of empty travel time is of major effort. Simulation experiments are used to verify the proposed travel time model, and the simulation results show that the presented model provides reasonable travel time estimations.
