A simulator for AGV system modeling

In this paper, we studied about AGVs modeling and material handling automation simulation using a virtual AGV. The proposed virtual AGV model that operates independently is based on a real AGV. A continuous straight-line and workstation model using vector drawing method that could easily and rapidly work the system modeling are suggested. Centralized traffic control, which could avoid collision in intersection and should not stop AGV as possible, and algorithm for detour routing which performs when another AGV is working in pre-routed path are proposed. The traffic control and the algorithm have been proved efficiently by simulation.
