AUTOMATIC FOLLOW-UP CAR AND AUTOMATIC FOLLOW-UP SYSTEM

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To allow a following car to run in pursuit of a foregoing car using a simple configuration. SOLUTION: A foregoing car 11 calculates the position using a GPS module 112 and transmits an appropriate signal to a following car 130 through a transmitter 118 and an antenna 119. The following car 130 draws the running locus of the foregoing car 110 using the time as address, and the speed and steering angle of itself 130 are determined on the basis of the obtained running locus, and the running control is made in such a way as tracing the running locus while the target inter-car distance is kept properly.
