| Popis: |
Collision-free or contact-free routing through connected networks has been actively studied in the industrial automation and manufacturing context. Contact-free routing of personnel through connected networks (e.g., factories, retail warehouses) may also be required in the COVID-19 context. In this context, we present an optimization framework for identifying routes through a connected network that eliminate or minimize contacts between randomly arriving agents needing to visit a subset of nodes in the network in minimal time. We simulate the agent arrival and network traversal process, and introduce stochasticity in travel speeds, node dwell times, and compliance with assigned routes. We present two optimization formulations for generating optimal routes - no-contact and minimal-contact - on a real-time basis for each agent arriving to the network given the route information of other agents already in the network. We generate results for the time-average number of contacts and normalized time spent in the network. |
