摘要：

Automated guided vehicle (AGV)-based material handling systems (MHSs), which are widely used in several flexible manufacturing system (FMS) installations, require a number of decisions to be made. These include the number of vehicles required, the track layout, traffic pattern along the AGV tracks, and solving traffic control problems. This paper addresses the key issues involved in the design and operation of AGV-based material handling systems for an FMS. The problems arising from multi-vehicle systems are analysed, and strategies for resolving them are examined using analytical and simulation models. © 1990 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
