METHOD, SYSTEM, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE RECORDING MEDIUM FOR CONTROLLING PLURALITY OF AUTOMATED GUIDED VEHICLES

A method for controlling a plurality of automated guided vehicles (AGVs) includes acquiring real-time information regarding positions of the plurality of AGVs moving along an automated guided vehicle route (AGV route), setting a blocking area for each of the AGVs based on the information regarding the positions of the plurality of AGVs acquired in the step of acquiring the real-time information, and controlling movements of the plurality of AGVs with reference to the blocking area. When an AGV is located at any one of plurality of points in the AGV route, a point at which the AGV is located and a movement line adjacent thereto are set as the blocking area. When the AGV is located on any one of movement lines in the AGV route, movement lines on which the AGV is located and through which the AGV has just passed are set as the blocking area.
