It is discussed how to determine the home location of idle vehicles in an AGVS with a loop guide path in a way of maximizing the request-call response probabilities for all demand. Optimal home position is selected by solving the simultaneous equations easily. Static positioning strategy is analyzed in which a single home position is allocated to which every vehicle is routed whenever it becomes idle. The cases of unidirectional guidepath is considered only. We provide a numerical example to illustrate the search algorithm developed for the case and compare the searched optimal solutions with the others.
