Guidance Systems and Routing for AGVS

Guidance Systems for AGVS

The major purpose of a guidance system is to keep the vehicle in the predestinated path. The major advantage of AGVS guidance system is that the guide path might be changed simply at low cost compared to the high expense of modifying fixed-path equipment such like conveyors, chains, and tow lines. Several guidance systems are available & their selection will based on application, need and environmental constraints.

Some familiar guidance systems are wire-guided guidance system, inertial guidance system, optical guidance system, laser guidance system, infrared guidance system, and teaching- type guidance system.

Routing of the AGVS

AGVS routing means finding out how the vehicle conforms the path and takes a shortest path among the two points. The commonly utilized technique is: "frequency selection method" and the "path switch selection method".
