<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a control method of an automatic carrier vehicle, for laterally or obliquely traveling the automatic carrier vehicle and then shifting the automatic carrier vehicle to the state of following a new guide line, with which the time required for shifting to the following state can be shortened by smoothly moving to the new guide line. <P>SOLUTION: A control method for making an automatic carrier vehicle 2 close to a guide line 12 under lateral traveling and moving the automatic carrier vehicle 2 to the guide line 12 includes a first travel step of making a drive unit 3 close to the guide line 12, a second travel step of moving the drive unit 3 forward as it is until a line sensor 351 does not detect the guide line 12 again after the line sensor 351 detects the guide line 12, a third travel step of steering the drive unit 3 in such a manner that the guide line 12 can be detected again by the line sensor 351 after the second travel step, and a shift step of executing switching to following travel control in response to the re-detection of the guide line 12 by the line sensor 351. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT</p> |
