Selection of Filtration Methods in the Analysis of Motion of Automated Guided Vehicle

Abstract In this article the issues related to mapping the route and error correction in automated guided vehicle (AGV) movement have been discussed. The nature and size of disruption have been determined using the registered runs in experimental studies. On the basis of the analysis a number of numerical runs have been generated, which mapped possible to obtain runs in a real movement of the vehicle. The obtained data set has been used for further research. The aim of this paper was to test the selected methods of digital filtering on the same data set and determine their effectiveness. The results of simulation studies have been presented in the article. The effectiveness of various methods has been determined and on this basis the conclusions have been drawn.

The analysis of passengers’ fluctuations during the weekdays on the lines serviced by inter-municipality car communication

A company which provides services in the field of collective passenger transport must ensure that its offer is attractive to potential customers and also economically sound. This requires, inter alia, a competitive fare and the adaptation of the timetable and the fleet in use to the needs of the residents transport timetable. This will be possible only after a precise diagnosis of fluctuations in the stream of passengers. The paper presents the results of studies aimed at determining how to shape the daily fluctuations in the stream of passengers during the week and whether on different lines and in different time periods they are similar, i.e. if one can speak of the existence of a common pattern (profile). The analysis was based on the data from the period from July 2010 to March 2011, with the separately examined periods of winter and summer holidays. There were analyzed a number of selected lines connecting the suburban municipality of Rzeszow. The public transport services on these lines are provided by Inter-Municipality Car Communication (IMCC).
