Abstract

In this paper, we present a scheme for developing a simulator which verify the AGV system operation in automated container terminal. First of all, we propose a guide path in automated terminal considering AGV productivity and present a traffic control scheme in a such guide path. Generally, the AGV system can be controlled by zone control scheme, but there are no flexibility and use simple operation. In this paper, we propose and use grid based control scheme to improve the flexibility of the AGV movement. Lastly, we construct the simulation environment which can do similar to that of real task and ease the modification and improvement of the control logics.

본 논문에서는 자동화 컨네이너 터미널에서의 AGV 시스템 운영을 위한 방안을 제시하고 그 검증을 위한 시뮬레이터를 개발한다. 우선적으로 AGV의 생산성을 고려한 자동화 터미널의 구조를 제시하고 그러한 구조상에서의 AGV의 교통통제 방안을 제시한다. 기존에 연구된 AGV 시스템들은 주로 존 제어 방식을 사용하고 있다. 그러나 본 연구에서는 AGV 운행의 유연성을 위해 그리드 기반의 제어 방식을 제안하고 사용한다. 최종적으로 실제 현장과 유사한 작업을 할 수 있고 운영규칙의 수정 개선이 용이한 시뮬레이션 환경을 개발한다.
