A New Parking Control Method for Automatic Guided Vehicle

Abstract:

A new parking control method is proposed to guide the parking of auto-guided vehicle(AGV) which has two working patterns:normal pattern and parking pattern,and is used for tran-sporting containers in port.An optimal path from current place to ready-to-parking place is planned first;then FLC is used to guide AGV to follow the planned path;the control parameters within membership function are optimized by using genetic algorithm(GA) to reduce the tracking error between real running path and the planned path.Numerical results show that this method is feasible and effective.
