METHOD FOR SENSING THE POSITION OF A MOBILE, EXCHANGEABLE LOAD CARRIER WHICH CAN BE TRANSPORTED BY MEANS OF A UTILITY VEHICLE

摘要

The invention relates to a method for sensing the position of at least one mobile, exchangeable load carrier (3; 3a, 3b), which can be moved by means of a utility vehicle (2), in a delimited sensing zone, in particular a depot (1), in which the at least one mobile, exchangeable load carrier (3) is moved by means of utility vehicles (2), wherein receiving processes (Mb) and/or unloading processes (Ma) of the at least one mobile, exchangeable load carrier (3) in the sensing zone (1) are determined as reporting events (M) by the at least one utility vehicle (2), position data (Pi) for indicating the position in the sensing zone (1) are determined for the reporting events (M) by the at least one utility vehicle (2), and position reporting signals (PS) are formed from the determined reporting events (M) and from the position data (Pi) and transmitted to a central communication station (8) of the sensing zone (1) via a wireless network (12) by the at least one utility vehicle (2), and wherein in the central communication station (8) the current position data (Pi) for the at least one load carrier (3) are determined from the received position reporting signals (PS) and are stored and continually updated in a data store (50).
