Modeling an AGVS is very similar to modeling an industrial vehicle, such as a lift truck, (which it is in a sense) except you control the operation more and there exists less freedom of movement. Paths are generally unidirectional and do not allow vehicle passing.
One of the challenges in modeling an AGVS is finding the shortest routes between any two stops in a system. ProModel provides built-in capability to automatically determine the shortest routes between points in a complex network.
