摘要 |
The system consists of a fleet of autonomous vehicles (V) for transporting goods or people on the road network. Each vehicle is equipped with a propulsion device, a localisation device and a communication device. The localisation device (MLOC) provides continuous information (ILOC) relating to the vehicle's position within a predetermined zone. The communication device (MCOM) is associated with the latter and also provides information to control relating to the load, numbers of objects or people being carried. The system also includes a communications centre (CC) which communicates with the vehicles. It will also select a vehicle when it receives a request (REQ) from a user and direct the vehicle to proceed to a desired location. ADVANTAGE - Provides alternative to private and goods vehicles in cities avoiding such problems as finding place to park or load/unload.
