Companies that integrate old and new technologies need analysis methods with complex logic to evaluate the resulting system, making simulation a primary analysis tool. This paper presents the logic for a general purpose simulation model representing an automatic guided vehicle (AGV) system integrated with traditional material handling equipment. To accurately represent type of system, logic includes vehicle loading/unloading and conventional equipment passing capability. The model's flexibility accommodates any combination of straight aisles and Intersections through minor adjustments to the general model. The logic concepts are implemented using the SIMAN simulation language. An application is presented which demonstrates using the model to analyze the impact of Interfacing AGV and traditional traffic upon aisle congestion and overall system performance.
