The main goal of this chapter is to present a mechanism for managing the movement of vehicles in a warehouse. The logic for managing two means of warehouse transportation is part of a research project for Zrembud Cieszyn, located in Poland. The company needs simulation to help design and verify rules for coordinating vehicle movement and communication. The logic was written for warehouse transport using forklifts and a specialized, new type of automatic guided vehicle (named Transfer Unit) in two different warehouse systems. The approach continuously determines vehicle positions based on controlling markers, traffic restrictions, communication, order assignment, and safety requirements in many different warehouse configurations (including rack parameters and inbound/outbound buffer locations). The method considers a new type of storage, referred to as drawer racks. The research work uses actual data, rules and technical information from the company.
