Intelligent dispatching system of mechatronic equipment group control using multi-agent

A group control system of mechatronic equipments has the characteristics of distribution, paralleled working and independent operating. This paper proposes an intelligent dispatching model with hierarchical structure based on multi-agent theory and technology in order to optimize operating scheming and to improve operating efficiency. Some key issues, such as the multi-agent system structure, agent collaboration mechanism and control algorithm, are studied in this paper. A simulation research about the group control dispatching for typical elevators proves that the method is feasible, correct and has obvious superiority.
