Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Improving the efficiency, safety, and speed of large-scale Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) systems is crucial for enhancing the productivity of logistics warehouses. Quantum annealers, such as the "D-Wave Advantage," show promise for optimizing AGV routing. Still, their application to large-scale problems is challenging due to limitations in the number of qubits. This study proposes a new optimization method that minimizes travel time for 1,000 AGVs while avoiding collisions, improving safety and efficiency. Additionally, we developed an FPGA-based Simulated Quantum Annealing (SQA) accelerator capable of handling approximately 50,000 variables, enabling solutions to problems beyond the scale of existing quantum annealers. This report demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed method through experiments using real operation conditions.
