Abstract

Abstract: 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.
