Abstract
This paper focuses on a design of a highly efficient Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) transportation system. Therefore, we first attempt to construct the detailed system management models, such as agent cooperation, container storage scheduling, and container transportation planning. Then, we optimally design the systems that are constructed with the use of the management models. Comparisons of the systems are made to evaluate operation efficiency based on the total construction cost. Finally, we make clear the highly efficient management model for the AGV transportation system, and discuss a need to take into consideration the efficient system management methodology.
