Abstract
In our previous works, we proposed a multi-agent transport control system for a production system, which uses two types of information : path information obtained by communication with neighboring agents and pheromone information deposited on the tracks of products. In this paper, in order to improve the performance of the proposed method, we modify the update rule of path information, and also provide several type of information, deposited on the tracks of products, as candidates of pheromone information. Then, we estimate the effectiveness of the improved method embedded with one of the candidates information, through a simulation experiment.
