AUTOMATIC MOVING VEHICLE AND AUTOMATIC MOVING VEHICLE CONTROL SYSTEM

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent an automatic moving vehicle from entering a no-entry area even if a light-shielding object exists which shields the floodlight of a reflective photosensor when the reflective photosensor detects a display unit which displays the non-entry area.SOLUTION: An automatic moving vehicle control system controls the running of an automatic moving vehicle 11 in a predetermined area. The automatic moving vehicle control system comprises a display unit 19 which is provided in a prescribed position of a ceiling 17 and displays a no-entry area An, reflective photosensors 20 and 21 which can detect the display unit 19, and a light shielding discrimination sensor 22 which can detect an object shielding the light path between the display unit 19 and the reflective photosensors 20 and 21 when the reflective photosensors 20 and 21 detect the display unit 19. A control device 15 stops the running of the automatic moving vehicle 11 when at least one of the reflective photosensors 20 and 21 and the light shielding discrimination sensor 22 outputs a detection signal.
