Simulation of a multi-agent system for autonomous trailer docking

چکیده
This paper presents a simulation model of a generic automated planning and control system for the pick-up and docking of semi-trailers by means of autonomous Yard Tractors (YTs) in a collisionand conflict free environment. To support the planning and control of the YTs, we propose a Multi-Agent System (MAS). We illustrate our approach using a case study at a Dutch logistics service provider. To evaluate the proposed system, we design an agent-based simulation model, which is setup in a similar way as the MAS. We conclude with the implementation and validation of the simulation model and present some results.

Adaptive Neural Network Method for Consensus Tracking of High-Order Mimo Nonlinear Multi-Agent Systems
This paper is concerned with the consensus tracking problem of high order MIMO nonlinear multi-agent systems. The agents must follow a leader node in presence of unknown dynamics and uncertain external disturbances. The communication network topology of agents is assumed to be a fixed undirected graph. A distributed adaptive control method is proposed to solve the consensus problem utilizing re...
متن کاملVoltage Coordination of FACTS Devices in Power Systems Using RL-Based Multi-Agent Systems
This paper describes how multi-agent system technology can be used as the underpinning platform for voltage control in power systems. In this study, some FACTS (flexible AC transmission systems) devices are properly designed to coordinate their decisions and actions in order to provide a coordinated secondary voltage control mechanism based on multi-agent theory. Each device here is modeled as ...
متن کاملAutonomous Multi-Agent Docking Using Color Segmentation
This poster will look at the work in progress of an autonomous multi-agent scheme for ego-centric docking, meaning that the agent docking has no communication or help from the agent to which it is docking. Docking has become a major issue in marsupial robots, and has applications in space exploration, urban search and rescue, and reconnaissance. This work attempts to make use of color segmentat...
متن کاملTrajectory Tracking Weeled Mobile Robot Using Backstepping Method with Connection off Axle Trailer
The connection of the tractor to the inactive trailer or motor vehicle causes a motion control problem when turning in the screw, forward or backward movements and high speeds. This is due to the inactive trailer being controlled by the tracking using a physical link that is not affected by the movement. Trailers usually take tracks under these conditions. This phenomenon is called Jack Knife. ...
متن کاملMotion State Estimation for an Autonomous Vehicle- Trailer System Using Kalman Filtering-based Multisensor Data Fusion
In this research we present a Kalman filtering-based motion state estimation method for an autonomous vehicle-trailer system by fusing multiple sensor data, which can be applied directly to autonomous navigation and motion control. The autonomous vehicle-trailer system consists of an autonomous vehicle and a passive trailer which are coupled by a trailer hitch. Our vehicle-trailer system is equ...
