ABSOLUTE POSITION DETECTION SYSTEM

摘要

The present invention relates to an absolute position detection system. More particularly, the present invention relates to a system for detecting an absolute position on a vehicle travel path. For example, disclosed is an absolute position detection system comprising: a plurality of pattern units arranged at a predetermined spacing on a vehicle travel path and having one or more first patterns and one or more second patterns having light reflectances that differ from each other; a pattern scan unit installed in a vehicle to scan each of the plurality of pattern units by laser beam and measure light reflectance for each of the first and second patterns; a data processing unit for comparing the measured light reflectance and a preset reference light reflectance, and performing binary data processing on the result of the comparison to recognize each of the plurality of pattern units; and a position detection unit for detecting the absolute positions of the plurality of pattern units by means of the processed binary data and information on the distance between the plurality of pattern units.
