Description
【発明の詳細な説明】 この発明は複数無人誘導車の運行制御方式に関する。[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention relates to a system for controlling the operation of multiple unmanned guided vehicles.

か否かを判断し。When there are multiple unmanned guided vehicles on the same road, it is necessary to perform blocking control to avoid interference such as collision or contact between the unmanned guided vehicles. For this reason, the position information of the unmanned guided vehicles is sent to a central computer, and the central computer determines whether or not interference will occur based on the current positions of the multiple vehicles.
干渉の可能比がある場合車輛を停止させる。Stop the vehicle if there is a possibility of interference.

に送信していた。By the way, when performing this blocking control, the most important thing is the current position information of the unmanned guided vehicle. Conventionally, this position information was obtained by detecting markers pasted on the driving road, and FSX etc. The data was sent to a central computer using the same communication means.

ば合流箇所べで接触等干渉の恐れありと判断し。That is, in the case of the merging shown in Fig. 1, if we look at the pipe side, an unmanned guided vehicle MB with traveling route P, BK is at station A, and an unmanned guided vehicle Ua with traveling route )RCt.
When also heading towards station A, the unmanned tugboat MB reaches the junction point d and marks the marker s at the end of the traveling route RB.
bi is detected, and if the unmanned guided vehicle MO has not yet reached the merging point and is in front of the marker sc, the central computer monitors this and detects the unmanned guided vehicle M in the near future.
Prepare to issue an appropriate command upon detection of marker sc at c. In other words, the central computer is the unmanned guided vehicle M
Marker sb detection signal of B and unmanned guided vehicle M after some time
Upon receiving the marker aa detection signal from O, it is determined that if left as is, there is a risk of interference such as contact at the merging point.

マーカsb、 scと同様のマーカSaが配置される。Issues a stop command to the unmanned guided vehicle MO. As a result, one unmanned guided vehicle waits at the merging point, and during this time the other unmanned guided vehicle passes, but once it has passed the merging point, there is no longer any fear of interference with the waiting unmanned guided vehicle. start again. That is, in order to detect that the unmanned guided vehicle has completed passing through the merging point, markers Sa similar to the previous markers sb and sc are placed on the travel route RA.

らず、むだ時間が二人、等の種々難点を無していた。C. Blocking control is performed based on marker/detection signals, and the signal exchange time with the central computer is
This method requires computer processing time, time for stopping and operating the unmanned guided vehicle, etc., and the marker must be placed farther away from the merging point, leading to various problems such as wasted time for two people.

, J: , 6 Let us consider a case where the unmanned trench-visiting vehicles MO start and reach the merging point one after the other, and if one of the vehicle widths is not stopped, an interference problem such as contact will occur. That is, the central computer stores distance information Lb, Lc, and La from the stop stations B, O, and A to the junction X, respectively, and travel distance information fibl, Jllb2 from the unmanned guided vehicle MB.

In both cases, the mileage information Jcl and lc2 from the unmanned guided vehicle MO as well as the time information tl and t2,
It is transmitted to a central computer by FSX means or the like.

If <tcgc, there is no fear of interference, and the vehicle Me will continue to run without giving any commands from us.

ードアップを図ることができる。In this way, the present invention transmits travel distance information @ all time information from an unmanned guided vehicle to a central computer during the journey, calculates the vehicle speed, and calculates the speed of the vehicle and interfering with it, for example, when merging. In this case, the method determines how multiple vehicles are traveling in the interference zone based on the relationship with the remaining distance to the merging point or the remaining distance to the edge of the interference zone before the merging point, and gives appropriate commands such as deceleration. That is,
By performing this processing operation at any time and at any point in time, the driving mode of the vehicle can be grasped more accurately, and opportunities for giving instructions such as stopping or decelerating for blocking control that have a negative impact on driving are reduced, and the system as a whole is improved. The operating speed of unmanned guided vehicles will increase, making it possible to speed up the operation.

To obtain the time, information on the distance to the end point of the zone may be stored in advance in the same manner as the information on the distance to the center point of the interference zone.

ころ大である。As mentioned above, the feature of this invention is that it removes the pasting of markers, which was previously indispensable due to blocking control, in order to run multiple unmanned guided vehicles.
By using the mileage information from the unmanned guided vehicle as a substitute, and combining it with previously stored distance information, calculated speed information, or directly detected speed information, we can prevent situations such as contact and collision in the interference zone. Blocking control is performed by predicting in advance and applying deceleration commands based on the predicted data.In other words, it can be said that the markers attached to the interference zone are replaced with software processing by a central computer. This greatly simplifies maintenance and inspection work for roads such as roads, etc., and greatly contributes to increasing the overall efficiency of operating multiple unmanned guided vehicles.

人誘導車の運行制御方式。1. In the operation control system for multiple unmanned guided vehicles that operate multiple unmanned guided vehicles on the same route, points such as loading/unloading stop stations, etc. that serve as reference points for unmanned guided vehicles, and merging points, etc. Distance information to the center point and end point of the interference zone is stored in advance, and based on the travel distance information and speed information sent from the unmanned guided vehicle, the center of the interference zone of the unmanned guided vehicle is determined. Find the time to reach the point or the end point of the interference zone, perform the same calculation for other vehicles, compare the time to reach the center point of the interference zone between these unmanned guided vehicles, and calculate the interference zone based on the result of this comparison. The time taken to reach the center point and the time taken to reach the end point are compared, and as a result, it is determined whether and to what extent a deceleration command is output to the unmanned guided vehicle that is slower to reach the center point of the interference zone. Features: Operation control system for multiple unmanned guided vehicles.
