Moving vehicle system and method of detecting position of moving vehicle

摘要

A detection head is provided for a moving vehicle. The detection head includes a coil array defined by a plurality of coils arranged along a moving direction of the moving vehicle. Dummy coils are provided on both sides of the coil array. Based on a difference between outputs of the dummy coils, whether the moving vehicle is in a continuous segment where the magnetic marks are provided at a constant first pitch or a discrete segment where the magnetic marks are arranged at a pitch wider than the first pitch is identified.
