Abstract
We describe parallel simulations of an Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) system for the container handling at a port. The AGV system is modelled with a time-driven approach and executed on efficient simulation engines implemented by using Cilk, a multi-threaded parallel programming language developed at MIT. The speedup remits of the AGV simulation over sequential versions are documented. We also present congestion control schemes of our AGV routing system.
