DEVICE FOR CORRECTING POSITION AND DIRECTION OF UNMANNED CONVEYING VEHICLE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a device that corrects position and azimuth data including errors of an unmanned conveying vehicle with a simple constitution. SOLUTION: The device for correcting the position and the direction has an odometer 12 and a gyroscope 11, which are mounted on the manned vehicle 1 that runs by calculating its own position and direction, direction finder 14 that detects a deviation from the vehicle position in the direction of its body width, which is installed on a center line between a front and a back of the vehicle, an ID tag detector 16 that detects the absolute position information and which is installed at the center of the vehicle. A direction sign 24 and an ID tag 26 that stores the absolute position information opposing to the direction finder 14 and the ID tag detector 16. Both finders correct the present position and the azimuth by calculating the deviation angle of azimuth and the deviation of the vehicle 1 from the absolute position on the basis of the detected information by the finders.
