摘要
Aiming at the scheduling and path planning of multiple Automated Guided Vechicles (AGVs) on automated container terminals, a mathematical model with the goal of minimizing AGV energy consumption was established by considering AGV load and conflicts. Two stages algorithm was designed to solve this model. In the first stage, Grey Wolf Optimizer (GWO) was used to optimize AGV scheduling under the shortest path based on task combination decomposition. In the second stage, for the better AGV scheduling, Floyd based time conflict prediction algorithm was further used to optimize its path to achieve the result of conflict prevention. Experiments verified the feasibility and effectiveness of the designed algorithm under different problem scales. The results showed that the proposed algorithm could effectively reduce the code length, and the result quality, running time and convergence were better than those obtained by other algorithms. It could effectively solve the scheduling of multiple AGVs under different scales and prevent conflict path planning, and reduce the energy consumption of AGVs. © 2022, Editorial Department of CIMS.
