PURPOSE:To provide the guidance system of a self-traveling car in which the appearance of a floor face can not be damaged, the plural number of times of reutilization can be attained, and a low cost can be realized. CONSTITUTION:A guide line 1 is plotted along a prescribed traveling path on a floor face 2 with a luminescent coloring matter material or a material constituted of the luminescent coloring matter as a primary component. The guide line 1 is plotted by resolving the luminescent coloring matter in a solvent or distributing it, and applying it to the floor face 2. Also, the luminescent coloring matter is mixed with an agent to be covered such as wax, and applied. For example, an ultraviolet absorbent coloring matter, infrared absorbent coloring matter, or visible absorbent coloring matter are used as the luminescent coloring matter. At this time, a self-traveling floor cleaning machine V is equipped with a traveling means constituted of two driving wheels 3 and two casters 4, and a guiding means constituted of two optical sensors 5 and a controller 6. Then, the light of a specific wavelength emitted from the luminescent coloring matter is detected by the optical sensors 5, the traveling means is controlled through the controller 6, and the machine V is guided along the guide line 1. |
