Traffic management of multi-AGV systems by improved dynamic resource reservation

Automated guided vehicles (AGVs) are widely used for material handling in warehouses and automated production lines due to their high efficiency and low failure rate with respect to human operated load carriers. However, AGVs usually interact with each other because of the restricted capacity of the...

description Automated guided vehicles (AGVs) are widely used for material handling in warehouses and automated production lines due to their high efficiency and low failure rate with respect to human operated load carriers.
