Method for operating driverless transport vehicle, involves automatically moving driverless transport vehicle along real track based on virtual track and determining current position of vehicle with respect to virtual map

摘要

The method involves deploying a virtual map (7) of environment in which a driverless transport vehicle (1) is automatically moved along a real track. The virtual map of the real track is associated with a virtual track (8). A driverless transport vehicle is automatically moved along the real track based on the virtual track and controlled by a control device (5). A current position of the driverless transport vehicle is determined with respect to the virtual map. Scanning assigned signals are evaluated by the control device in order to determine the current position of the vehicle. An independent claim is also included for a driverless transport vehicle.
