Multi agent path planning: comparison of different behaviors in the case of collisions
In the context of Industry 4.0 and cyber physical production systems, the role of production logistics is perceived as more and more important in order to reach the overall manufacturing targets. One central aspect in organizing the flow of material consists in task allocation and path planning for transport resources disposing of growing autonomy. There are various approaches for multi agent path planning as well as the way of dealing with collisions. Collisions are possible due to traffic volume and can either be treated on planning level or in a short term way on control level.
