The invention provides a performance evaluation method of a four-way shuttle
robot system based on path optimization, which comprises the following steps of: modeling path nodes in a two-dimensional coordinate
system, and on the basis of considering the motion characteristics of acceleration, deceleration and the like during operation of a shuttle
robot, obtaining a path with shortest
operation time of the shuttle
robot by improving a Dijkstra
algorithm; on the basis, a semi-open-loop
queuing network model considering path optimization is constructed, and
system performance indexes including a task period, an equipment
utilization rate and
throughput are solved by adopting an AMVA
algorithm.
Simulation verification shows that the method is high in calculation precision and excellent in efficiency;
sensitivity analysis further reveals an influence rule of structural parameters such as the number of roadways, the number of columns and the number of
layers on system performance, and indicates that when the roadways are close to the number of columns and the number of
layers is adaptive to the total quantity of goods positions, the
throughput capacity of the system is optimal, and a quantitative basis is provided for storage
system configuration.
