ularly appropriate for large, plex systems with many vehicles and much potential vehicle interference. These developments do not imply that the traditional decisionmaking problems bee obsolete. Rather, they lead to new challenges for research. We both discuss traditional AGVS’ decisionmaking problems and impacts of using freeranging AGVs on decisionmaking. 中英文資料 6 There are few review papers on AGV systems. However, they concentrate on only limited parts of the problem (Qiu et al. (2021) focus on scheduling and routing problems) or are not up to date (Co and Tanchoco, 1991。 singleloop systems are used, for example, in crossdock centers. Tandem configurations may be more appropriate for manufacturing environments where workstations are grouped into manufacturing cells. 。 Sinriech, 1995). Moreover, they ignore some areas such as idlevehicle positioning and battery management. This paper attempts to fill this gap, by giving an extended overview of existing literature, including the most recent contributions, and also structures the design and control processes of an AGVS. For each area, we review and classify key decision models. In addition, a new classification for dispatching rules, a guideline for selecting a suitable scheduling system and a decision framework for design and control of an AGVS are proposed. We also consider idlevehicle positioning and battery management problems, which many review papers neglect. Finally, we suggest some fruitful future research directions. . Guidepath design Guidepath design is an important issue in AGVS design and control. It is one of the very first problems to be considered. Most published works on the guidepath design problem assume that facility layout and locations of pickup/delivery (P/D) stations are gi
