In the research project ZellFTF, the economic and logistical efficiency of the use of cellular transport units, which are formed by automated guided vehicles, is investigated in comparison to conventional approaches (e.g. transport with forklifts).
The aim of the thesis is to develop a genetic algorithm for the approximate solution of a vehicle routing problem (VRP) for cellular AGVs. The algorithm is to be written in Python. The model for which the genetic algorithm is to be developed is available. The developed solution approach is to be compared with optimal solutions for a VRP (e.g. using CPLEX).
Your tasks
- Literature research on existing mathematical approaches for intralogistic transport processes
- Development of a genetic algorithm to solve the existing vehicle routing problem for cellular AGVs
- Implementation of the algorithm with Python
- Application of the algorithm for an exemplary production layout
- Evaluation of the algorithm in comparison to optimal solutions of the VRP (e.g. by CPLEX)
