This article presents a new approach for planning the dispatching, conflict-free routing, and scheduling of automated guided vehicles in a flexible manufacturing system. The problem is solved optimally in an integrated manner, contrary to the traditional approach in which the problem is decomposed i
Automated guided vehicles (AGVs) play an important role in flexible manufacturing systems. One of the key issues of using AGVs is the conflict-free routing especially when the AGV system is bi-directional. Two classes of routing algorithms have been proposed in the literature: Optimised pre-planning
