Abstract

Movement is controlled of a plurality of container handling vehicles on a rail system arranged at least partially across a top of a framework structure of an automated storage and retrieval system, on which rail system the plurality of container handling vehicles are operable to raise storage containers from, and lower storage containers into, storage columns arranged in rows between upright members and horizontal members of the framework structure. The storage containers are also transported above the storage columns. The movement control is performed by a central operational controller which is in communication with a local controller in each container handling vehicle. The central operational controller receives data relating to a subsection of the rail system. The data includes a container handling vehicle movement threshold for the subsection. The central operational controller instructs a container handling vehicle to follow a path which takes in at least a part of the subsection. The central operational controller instructs the container handling vehicle to reduce speed and/or acceleration such that the movement of the container handling vehicle within the subsection is below the container handling vehicle movement threshold of the sub section.
