PCT No. PCT/KR96/00197 Sec. 371 Date Aug. 25, 1997 Sec. 102(e) Date Aug. 25, 1997 PCT Filed Nov. 7, 1996 PCT Pub. No. WO97/17244 PCT Pub. Date May 15, 1997A position recognition apparatus for personal rapid transit. The personal rapid transit system comprises a chassis (40) for moving at the inside of a guideway (10) and a chamber for passengers being mounted on the chassis (40) at the outside of the guideway (10). The chassis (40) is provided with guidance wheels (41 and 42), electric linear motors (44a and 44b), a switching device, brakes, a control apparatus (70) and electric power supply devices. Bar code scanners (60a and 60b) are installed at both sides of the chassis (40) in the inside of the guideway (10). Bar codes include figures and letters indicating sections and positions at a certain interval on the guideway (10), and are printed on bar code members (50a and 50b) having a predetermined width which is made of plastics. The plastic bar code members (50a and 50b) on which the same bar codes are printed are attached to both sides of the guideway (10). The scanners (60a and 60b) recognize positions and speed of the vehicles (80) from bar codes which are arranged opposite to the scanners (60a and 60b) fixed at the chassis (40) of the vehicles (80), and transmit the data to a computer which is installed adjacent to the scanners (60a and 60b) for controlling the vehicles (80). The computer controls the driving motors of the vehicles (80) to thereby provide effects of performing accurate interval maintenance and preventing in advance rear-end collision and collision between vehicles under the control of interval and speed.
