A driverless train AGVS is being planned for a warehouse complex. Each train will consist of a towing vehicle plus four carts. Speed of the trains 150 f/min. Only the pulled carts carry loads. Average loaded travel distance per delivery cycle is 3000 ft and empty travel distance is the same. Assume the travel factor-08, and availability = 1.0. The load handling time per trin per delivery is expected to be 20 min. If the requirements on the AGVS are 16 cart loads/hr. Determine the number of required trains.
