POSITIONING MODEL OF THE AUTOMATED GUIDED VEHICLE IN LOOP LAYOUT TO MAXIMIZE THE REQUEST-CALL RESPONSE PROBABILITIES

루프레이아웃 AGVS에서의 작업요구 응답확률을 최대화 하기 위한 AGV대기 위치 결정 모형

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.
