Question: An automated guided vehicle system is being planned for a warehouse complex. The AGVS will be a driverless train system, and each train will consist of the towing vehicle plus four pulled carts. The speed of the trains will be 160 ft/min. Only the pulled carts carry loads. The average loaded travel distance per delivery cycle is 2000 ft and empty travel distance is the same. Anticipated travel factor = 0.95. The load handling time per train per delivery is expected to be 10 min. If the requirements on the AGVS are 25 cart loads/hr, determine the number of trains required. Assume A = 1.0.
