The guidance system (16) is suitable for guiding a follower vehicle (14) such that it follows a leader (12). It includes a system (20) for localizing the leader (12) relative to the follower vehicle (14). The localization system (20) includes: at least two distance measuring devices (23) designed to be carried by the follower vehicle (14), each being suitable for measuring a distance (D1, D2, D3) from a reference point (25, 26, 27) of the follower vehicle (14), associated with the distance measuring device (23), to the leader (12), said reference points (25, 26, 27) being spaced apart from one another, and a computer (28), programmed to deduce the position of the leader (12) relative to the follower vehicle (14) from the distances (D1, D2, D3) measured by the measuring devices (23). A corresponding guidance method is also provided. |
