Title
Mission design for a group of autonomous guided vehicles
Abstract
In this paper, a generic approach for the integration of vehicle routing and scheduling and motion planning for a group of autonomous guided vehicles (AGVs) is proposed. The AGVs are requested to serve all the work stations in a two-dimensional environment while taking into account kinematics constraints and the environment's geometry during their motion. The problem objective is the simultaneous determination of time-optimum and collision-free paths for all AGVs. The proposed method is investigated and discussed through a number of simulated experiments using a variety of environments and different initial conditions.
