自动化码头运输设备充电策略优化的仿真研究

随着自动化集装箱码头成为当今码头的发展趋势,AGV(automated guided vehicle) 作为自动化码头中使用最为广泛的水平运输工具,合理制定其充电策略至关重要。针对当前自动化集装箱码头中AGV充电策略的不足,提出一种以离线充电为主在线充电为辅的充电策略,并且针对在线充电站点位置选择问题提出一种利用热区图选择有效在线充电站点的快捷方法。在使用该种充电策略情况下,通过大量仿真实验得出在码头工作任务量不变的前提下可减少AGV数量配置的结果,说明自动化集装箱码头水平搬运效率得到提高,证明该充电策略具有有效性。

Simulation Research on Optimization of AGV Charging Strategy for Automated Terminal

As the automated container terminal is the development trend of terminal, AGV (automated guided vehicle) becomes the most widely used horizontal transportation tool and it is important to make its reasonable charging strategy. Aiming at the shortcomings of the current AGV, a charging strategy of offline charging being primary and online charging being auxiliary is proposed. In order to solve the problem of location selection of online charging station, a quick method of selecting effective stations by using heat zone map is proposed. Through a large number of simulation experiments using this strategy, the fact that the number of AGV can be reduced under the same workload, shows that the efficiency of horizontal handling of automated container terminal has been improved, which proves that the charging strategy is effective.
