This paper considers a new model of automated guided vehicle system arising from modern transportation systems. The objective is to minimize the vehicle number in order to guarantee the stability of the system. An approximately analytical method is proposed and a numerical example based on simulatio
An algorithm for determining the optimal, unidirectional flow path for an automated guided vehicle system with a given facility layout is presented. The problem is formulated as an integer program. The objective is to minimize the total distance traveled by vehicles subject to the constraint that th
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
In a previous work an approach was presentedfor extracting information about the eiyenvalues of a linear, time-invariant dynamic system directly from a graphical model. In this paper a generalization is given of the results previously obtained. For some particular cases we can give the entire spectr
## In this paper, a model reduction technique to remedy the singularity of reduced- order models is proposed. The approach adopted is based on the least-square fitting of timemoments of the system. The proposed method is also auailable to stabilize unstable reduced models. This method is superior t
