Abstract

An important factor in the design of automated guided vehicle systems (AGVS) is the flow path design. This paper presents an approach to determining the optimal flow path. The objective is to find the flow path which will minimize total travel of loaded vehicles. The problem is formulated as a zero-one integer program. Examples are presented to demonstrate the approach.
