Abstract

In this paper, we consider the guide path layout design problem for automated guided vehicle (AGV) systems. Two types of mathematical models: the detailed model and the multi-commodity flow model are proposed. The detailed model considers the detailed pickup and delivery routing of AGVs in the design of guide path layout whereas, the multi-commodity flow model considers the multi-commodity flow from the pickup node to the delivery node. We compare the performance of these two models for the guide path design problem in a real case. The computational results show the multi-commodity flow model can solve large scale layout model with sufficient accuracy.
