Dynamic modeling for optimal scheduling of automatic guided vehicle system

This paper proposes a dynamic modeling of transportation systems in semiconductor manufacturing. Utilizing our modeling method, we consider an optimal scheduling problem of AGV (automatic guided vehicle) system transfer problem, which is to control the AGV congestion on the junctions of the transportation road in this paper. The problem is recast as an ILP (Integer Linear Programming) problem within model predictive control framework. This paper presents a numerical example.
