AUTOMATIC TRAVELING METHOD, AND AUTOMATIC TRAVELING TRANSPORT VEHICLE AND AUTOMATIC TRAVELING SYSTEM UTILIZING THE SAME

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an automatic traveling method highly precisely enabling automatic traveling with a simple system, and an automatic traveling transport vehicle and an automatic traveling system utilizing the method.;SOLUTION: There are included an advancing direction indication pile which is disposed at predetermined intervals along a traveling route along which an automatic traveling transport vehicle travels, and to which an RFID tag that includes at least an intrinsic ID is appended, a magnetic sensor attached to the automatic traveling transport vehicle, a magnetic bearing detector that detects the advancing direction of the automatic traveling transport vehicle on the basis of data sent from the magnetic sensor, a reader that reads the data sent from the RFID tag, and a traveling controller that produces traveling control data, with which the traveling direction of the automatic traveling transport vehicle is controlled, using the data read by the reader and the advancing direction detected by the magnetic bearing detector, and controls traveling.;SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2;COPYRIGHT: (C)2018,JPO&INPIT
