Effect of the Shape of the Trajectory on AGV Energy Consumption and Travelling Time

Energy consumption by AGV (automated guided vehicle) depends on many factors. The effect of the shape of the AGV trajectory on energy consumption is considered in this paper. This trajectory consists of straight lines and curves. For given AGV trajectory speed and its schedule is limited by kinematics and dynamic property especially during motion along curvilinear trajectory. Computer simulation is the best method of this property investigation, so it has been carried out. Description of simulation and some chosen results are presented in this paper.
