Bachelor Thesis - Visualization and Analysis of Congestion in AGV Systems
Are you looking for an opportunity to influence the future of transportation systems and automated vehicle technologies?
This thesis offers you the opportunity to engage in cutting-edge research that combines data analytics, simulation, and visualization to address real-world challenges in traffic management and automated system.
Background
An Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) system is a fleet of mobile robots that automatically transport goods in a network of fixed virtual roads, designed according to the specification of the warehouse. Understanding traffic congestion dynamics is crucial for optimizing AGV operations and improving overall system efficiency. By analyzing simulation data and visualizing congestion patterns, we can pinpoints areas of improvement and develop strategies to enhance traffic flow within AGV networks.
Goal of the thesis
This thesis aims to develop a comprehensive system for extracting and visualizing simulation data to better understand and represent the dynamics of traffic congestion in simulated environments.
Method
- Data Extraction and Processing: Implement scripts to parse simulation trace files, identifying both active and blocked usage of segments (the edges in the road network). This will help in quantifying the frequency and duration of congestion across different segments.
- Visualization Development: Utilize Python and other visualization tools to create dynamic, animated representations of congestion spread. This will include integrating visual feedback on traffic rules to assess their impact on congestion dynamics.
- Analysis and Reporting: Conduct thorough analyses to identify patterns and critical congestion points, collaborating with domain experts to align visualizations with real-world AGV system configurations and insights.
About you
- Have a strong background in data science, programming (particularly in Python);
- Have an interest in traffic modeling and simulation;
- Are keen on developing practical, visualization-based solutions to complex problems;
- Are excited about contributing to advancements in automated guided vehicle systems.
