PARKING AGV ROUTE PLANNING METHOD BASED ON IMPROVED ANT COLONY ALGORITHM

摘要

A parking AGV route planning method based on an improved ant colony algorithm. The method comprises: 1) building a model of a parking environment; 2) initializing system parameters; 3) improving a pheromone update policy; 4) improving heuristic information intensity; and 5) applying the improved ant colony algorithm to plan a route for a parking AGV. By means of the method, a time-optimal route from a starting point to a target point is provided for searching for the parking AGV, thereby ensuring that an AGV system accurately and rapidly completes vehicle storage and pick-up and parking tasks in a relatively short time.
