Abstract Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) have been introduced into various applications, such as automated warehouse
systems, flexible manufacturing systems, and container terminal systems. However, few publications have outlined
problems in need of attention in AGV applications comprehensively. In this paper, several key issues and essential
models are presented. First, the advantages and disadvantages of centralized and decentralized AGVs systems were
compared; second, warehouse layout and operation optimization were introduced, including some omitted areas,
such as AGVs fleet size and electrical energy management; third, AGVs scheduling algorithms in chessboardlike environments were analyzed; fourth, the classical route-planning algorithms More >
