Distribution tasks or transportation problems when using Operations Research methods are mostly addressed by vehicle routing problem methods dealing with an issue of supplying to several nodes, wherein the route begins in a point of origin and, after accomplishing deliveries to individual nodes, vehicle returns to an initial point. Each node can be operated only once, the order of nodes is not determined; however, the major objective is to find the shortest route possible. The aim of this research study is to formulate options to model delivery routes executed by automated guided vehicles in an extensive logistics areal by applying the specific mathematical optimization method. After description of several fundamental aspects and attributes related to automated guided vehicles, distribution tasks and vehicle routing problems which are discussed in introductory chapters, the most important parts containing the specification of Greedy algorithm, as a very useful optimization method for the given purpose, as well as the very models of cargo delivery by automated guided vehicles without / with initial distance optimization are presented.
