Abstract

Computer simulation is often used as an analysis tool during the design of Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) systems. However, because of the complexities inherent in automated material handling systems, general-purpose simulation languages must be used creatively to capture the desired detail in the model. This paper presents some general concepts which can be used to model AGV systems. Also, some of the critical concerns which must be addressed in a simulation analysis of an AGV system are presented and discussed.
