An automated guided vehicle (AGV) system is a group of collaborating unmanned vehicles which is commonly used for transporting materials within manufacturing, warehousing, or distribution systems. The performance of an AGV system depends on the dispatching rules used to assign vehicles to pickup requests, the vehicle routing protocols, and the home location of idle vehicles, which are called dwell points. In manufacturing and distribution environments which emphasize just-in-time principles, performance measures for material handling are based on response times for pickup requests and equipment utilization. In an AGV system, the response time for a pickup request is the time that it takes for the vehicle to travel from its dwell point to the pickup station. In this article, an exact dynamic programming algorithm for selecting dwell points in a tandem-loop multiple-vehicle AGV system is presented. The objective of the model is to minimize the maximum response time for all pickup requests in a given shift. The recursive algorithm considers time restrictions on the availability of vehicles during the shift.

It can be acquired the high effective productivity through of high speed, precision of machine tools, and then, machine tools will be got a competitive power. Industrially advanced countries already developed that the high speed feed is 60m/min using the high speed ball screw. Also, a lot of problems have happened the feed drive system. It is necessary to study about the characteristics of thermal deformation played a more critical role than static stiffness and dynamic rigidity in controlling the level of machining accuracy. In spite of the improving the thermal deformation characteristics of machine tools at the design stage, there are always some residual errors that have to be compensated for during machining. In this study, thermal deformation error automated compensation device with multiple linear regression is proposed that thermal deformation error can be eliminated at the machining stage. The developed device has been practically applied to the feed drive unit.

The automated mechanical transmission(AMT) is composed of electronic control management(ECM) and automatic shift gear(ASG). The AMT has advantages which are high efficiency of manual transmissions(MT) and offer operation convenience similar to automatic transmissions(AT). However, it has defects that are the torque gap during gear shift transients and shift time is long. To reduce such defects, it is necessary practically to evaluate error and characteristics as developing simulation model before the control algorithm is applied. In this paper, models are composed of vehicle model and AMT shift control model. Particularly AMT shift control model consists of main clutch management model (MCM) and shift control management model(SCM). The developed models were verified by comparing the simulated and experimental results under the same operational conditions. It can also be used to evaluate shift algorithm.

One of the most important and powerful tools available for design and/or study of the operation of complex systems and processes is simulation. Since automated material handling systems like AS/RS are often quite complex, a network-based simulation model is developed to analyze an automobile part supplier's automated storage and retrieval system(AS/RS). The network simulation model is implemented in the SLAM Ⅱ on a VAX 8800 computer. Performance of the AS/RS was tested for 3 dispatching rules, 3 work load levels, 2 storage policies, 3 levels of stacker crane break-down, and 2 conveyor system layouts. Results indicate that the AS/RS performance is primarily affected by the dispatching rule and work load level.

코로나 팬데믹 이후 B2C(Business to Customer) 중심의 온라인 시장 규모가 확대됨에 따라 물류 산업계는 다품종 소량 중심의 물류 처리를 위한 물류 자동화 창고를 구축하고 있다. 물류 자동화 창고 구축 시 시스템 설계 단계에서부터 자동화 창고의 요구사항을 만족하도록 설비 성능과 운영 로직이 설계되었는지 공학적인 검증이 필요하다. 본 연구는 전북 익산의 H 물류 자동화 창고를 대상으로 시뮬레이션 모델 기반의 설계 검증 및 최적 대안을 제시한다. 먼저, 전체 물류 프로세스 중 설계 검증 대상을 출고 프로세스와 관련 있는 박스 공급과 포장 프로세스로 선정하였다. 그리고 대상 프로세스에 대하여 병목현상이 발생 가능한 부분을 분석하고 분석 결과를 바탕으로 이산사건 시뮬레이션 모델을 설계 및 구현하였다. 시뮬레이션 실험 결과, 시스템 설계 단계에서 식별한 설비 파라미터와 운영 로직은 전체 자동화 창고의 성능 요구사항을 일부 만족하지 않는 것으로 분석되었고, 추가 시뮬레이션 실험을 통해 설비 파라미터와 운영 로직을 변경하여 시스템 성능 요구사항을 만족하는 대안을 제시하였다. 해당 시뮬레이션 연구는 추후 시스템 설계 단계뿐 아니라 시스템 구축 단계에서도 설계에 맞게 구축이 진행되는지 확인하는 검증 목적으로도 활용되기를 기대한다.

From a viewpoint of human factors, automated highway systems(AHS) can be defined as one of the newly developing human-machine systems that consist of humans(drivers and operators), machines(vehicles and facilities), and environments(roads and roadside environments). AHS will require a changed vehicle control process and driver-vehicle interface(DVI) comparing with conventional driving. This study introduces a fixed-based AHS simulator and provides questionnaire-based human factors evaluation results after three kinds of automated driving speed experiences in terms of road configuration, operation policies, information devices, and overall AHS use. In the simulator, the "shared space-at-grade" concept-based road configuration was virtually implemented on a portion of the Kyungbu highway in Korea, and heads-up display(HUD), AHS information display, and variable message signs(VMS) were installed for appropriate AHS DVI implementation. As the results, the subjects expressed positive opinions on the implemented road configuration, operation policies, and the overall use of AHS. The results of this study would be helpful in developing the road configuration and DVI design guideline as the basic human factors research for the future implementation of AHS.
