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; however, the current limitations in the number of qubits make it challenging to apply them to large-scale problems. In this study, we propose a new optimization method aimed at minimizing travel time while avoiding collisions to enhance safety and efficiency in large-scale AGV control systems. Furthermore, we have developed an FPGA-based simulation quantum annealing (SQA) accelerator capable of processing approximately 50,000 variables, establishing a framework to address large-scale optimization problems. This report demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed method through experiments conducted under actual operating conditions.
