  • COORDINATION OF PATHS OF A PLURALITY OF MOVABLE MACHINES
    Publication number: 20200042014
    Abstract: A method for at least partially automated coordination of a path arrangement of a machine arrangement, having a path of at least one first movable machine and an additional path of at least one second movable machine. The method includes determining at least one waiting dependency between a path point of a path of a first machine in the machine arrangement and a path point of the additional path in order to avoid a collision between the first and second machines, provided that a quality criterion for leaving the paths while complying with this waiting dependency is not worse than complying with an alternative inverse waiting dependency between a path point of the path of the first machine and a path point of the additional path in order to avoid the same collision.
