Abstract:The original bridge crane path planning algorithm based on shortest path as the objective function, planning the path there are multiple turning point, in practice due to the crane cart and the car frequently brake, make the load swing is bigger and it took a lot of time, serious impact on the efficiency of bridge crane reproduced. On the analysis of the bridge crane itself, on the basis of structure and operating system features, by changing the original backup set grid alternating the cart and the car run, at the same time will be a turning point of the path planning algorithm combining with the number of the objective function, planning to get no slashes, inflection point few and short path, the optimal path. Through simulation and experiment, the improved algorithm of path in actual reproduced in shorter, proved that improved the feasibility of the path planning algorithm in practice.
