Abstract

With the intensification of globalization, the requirements for port container throughput are getting higher and higher, and automated AGVs have emerged. Among them, a reasonable path planning of AGVs is very important. Aiming at the path planning and conflict avoidance of AGVs, based on the improved A* algorithm, this paper proposes an AGV steering cost estimation function and a multi-AGV occupancy program, then gives an AGVs path planning strategy. Compared with the traditional AGVs operation mode, it improves working efficiency and reduces the amount of calculation, which has certain significance for the low-cost upgrading of traditional terminals. At the same time, the method is more universal and provides a reference for related research and industrial applications.
