In order to implement an effective (re-)planning strategy for the AGVs, in the last two months a measure of efficiency has been implemented. Given a set of paths for the vehicles, this measure evaluates the efficiency both in terms of the traffic that can be generated and in terms of the lengths of the paths: the lower the measure the better the paths. The planning strategy that will be developed will look for set of paths minimizing this measure.

In parallel,  an area for hosting the arena, a small scale automatic warehouse where to carry on the experimental validation in the last part of TRAFCON, has been individuated. The area is 400 m2 wide and the preliminary design and construction of the arena have started.
