Description

The intelligent dispatching system of the many automatic guided vehicles of automatic dock and method
Technical field
The present invention relates to the intelligent dispatching system of the many automatic guided vehicles of a kind of automatic dock and method.
Background technology
Automatic dock operation scheduling mainly includes bank bridge operation, horizontal transport operation and three links of storage yard operation.Automatic guided vehicle (AutomaticGuidedVehicle is called for short AGV) horizontal transport is the important step of linking bank bridge operation and field bridge operation, is the main way of current automatic dock horizontal transport.Different from the bottleneck of tradition harbour An Qiao, field bridge-type operating system, on the one hand, in modern automation harbour, container operation amount and horizontal transport distance are greatly increased, An Qiao, field bridge handling capacity are existing significantly to be promoted;On the other hand, due to the uncertain disturbances of mission bit stream, road network information and status information so that many AGV produce the space-times such as node conflict, traffic congestion, deadlock under multi-state, multitask, multiobject complex job environment to be interfered.Therefore, horizontal transport link has become automatic dock and has improved the new bottleneck of working performance.
Automatic dock operation process has the uncertain features such as dynamic, random, burst.Bank bridge loading/unloading case, Chang Qiao unload/case the uncertain meeting of time and cause the uncertain of AGV queue waiting time;The average running time of AGV is subject to the impact of the intrinsic uncertain parameter of AGV system and the impact of harbour real-time traffic condition (i.e. the uncertainty of traffic flow);Additionally, also include the sudden of contingency tasks and fault;Etc..
Current dock operation plan and management and running adopt concentrating decision-making mechanism, consider complexity and the impact of various unascertained information of system, meeting the high-efficient homework requirement under the high security of following automatic dock, the dynamic optimization of the overall situation can not or can not control because the decision-making time is long in real time.Owing to AGV lacks " brain ", without making decisions on one's own, self study, self organization ability, it is impossible to prediction harbour traffic flow conditions, cause being primarily present problems with in AGV job scheduling:
(1) static scheduling of AGV is made it cannot adapt to uncertainty by concentrating decision-making mechanism.At present, AGV horizontal transport link does not also have colony intelligence, it is impossible to Self-organizing Coordinated task is distributed, and every AGV manages system from dock operation and passively receives an assignment and routing instruction.The hypotheses that the task of AGV is distributed is time of advent of each task and the activity duration can accurately be predicted, and in fact lift van activity duration such as An Qiao, field bridge has uncertainty, therefore under this static task scheduling mode, AGV queue waiting time is long.In a word, this scheduling method is static, and the efficiency of decision-making is low, hinders the raising of working performance.
(2) static path planning is difficult to avoid that space-time is interfered, it is easy to cause traffic congestion and deadlock.Simply accept the path planning overall situation, static passively due to AGV, the planning of this fixed route is left out real-time traffic states to the AGV impact travelled, it is impossible to carry out path dynamic optimization and adjustment.Lack self-learning capability due to AGV and Self-organization Mechanism, its self adaptation and behavior adjustment capability are also not enough to avoid conflict to interfere.Therefore, in the urgent need to promoting the intelligent level of AGV, the information between AGV of setting up is mutual, " being certainly in harmony " mechanism of conflict coordination.
(3) lacking contingency tasks priority allocation mechanism, fault, accident emergency response capability are not enough.At present, mainly still moved ahead by pre-decelerating and stopping after ultrasonic ranging or laser acquisition, and the hard measure installing buffer protection device carrys out pre-anticollision.For fault and accident, mainly afterwards by artificial emergency processing, still lacking contingency tasks override mechanism, functionally but without realizing, AGV is independently collaborative to be dodged and the quick executive measure of contingency tasks (such as free path traveling).

Consider that the dynamic realtime of the overall situation of All Jobs link optimizes hardly possible, by cargo handling operation modularity, by two-level scheduler new model by production plan and scheduling decoupling.Redistribute function and the authority of dock operation management information system and AGV colony intelligence dispatching patcher, set up the mission bit stream between two-stage system (task-set distribution and task feedback) interaction mechanism: upper system only need to consider production plan and task-set distribution, assign contingency tasks depending on feelings (AGV fault, security incident, emergency), optimize production plan such that it is able to collaborative with other cargo handling operations better;AGV colony intelligence dispatching patcher then becomes AGV task and distributes (reassignment) and Dispatch and Command Center, it is actually and gives AGV self-decision ability, such that it is able to realize the task Real-time and Dynamic distribution such as priority of task, fault and accident be emergent, for establishing framework basis towards probabilistic dynamic dispatching.
2) by the traffic flow rolling forecast in intelligent harbour limitation working space, calling AGV and dispatched path examples in the past, based on intelligent optimization algorithm, the task of AGV is distributed and path planning carries out collaborative optimization, it is achieved dynamic route real-time optimization.
Generate the rolling forecast information of arithmetic for real-time traffic flow distributed intelligence and future transportation flow distribution according to operation real time status information (including the orientation of every AGV, speed, task status, fault and security alarm etc.), call conventional path examples from management and running knowledge system and form optional path collection by data mining.Path optimization problems is converted to the static optimization problem that can (quickly) solve in real time under discrete time, and AGV individuality is respectively directed to normal work to do according to optional path and free path pattern and contingency tasks carries out path and quickly plans.Under normal work to do (optional path) pattern, disposable for the rolling forecast information of the future transportation flow distribution AGV of being supplied to individuality is carried out current task path planning for it;Under contingency tasks (free path) pattern, realized the free path real-time optimization of AGV " forecasting traffic flow-freely plan-predict again-plan again " by traffic flow dynamic prediction.
3) adopt knowledge learning method, set up AGV scheduling knowledge management system, enrich constantly and optimize AGV Scheduling instances storehouse and knowledge base, improving the self study of AGV, self-organizing, self-decision ability.
It is extremely difficult owing to setting up dynamic task allocation and the active path planning Combinatorial Optimization Model of many AGV, constantly trains AGV intelligent capability mainly through the method for data acquisition and knowledge learning.Utilize the path optimization's information architecture case library having completed task, carry out data mining generation and supplementary knowledge base, make AGV possess self-learning capability.Reference bionic self-organization mechanism, according to AGV with or without task, whether band load, whether meeting an urgent need divides job priority (such as contingency tasks can give the highest job priority).What propose the AGV anticollision based on job priority rank height and anti-self-locking is in harmony traffic rules and discretionary security control strategy certainly, makes AGV have self organization ability.
Although present disclosure has been made to be discussed in detail already by above preferred embodiment, but it should be appreciated that the description above is not considered as limitation of the present invention.After those skilled in the art have read foregoing, multiple amendment and replacement for the present invention all will be apparent from.Therefore, protection scope of the present invention should be limited to the appended claims.
