The system detects the distance between the moving light reflector and the moving vehicle and the azimuth of the moving light reflector relative to the moving vehicle on the basis of the light reflected from the moving light reflector, calculates the position of the moving light reflector based on the distance and azimuth with respect to the moving vehicle which are detected while the moving vehicle is stopped, stores the calculated position as a locus thereof, and sets a traveling course in the work area recognized on the basis of the stored locus of the moving light reflector. The travel locus of the light reflector, or the outline of the work area, can be recognized and a traveling course for the moving vehicle can be set in the work area while the vehicle is stopped.

    摘要: A steering control system for a moving vehicle causes the vehicle to travel along a predetermined traveling course in a region in which a predetermined working operation, such as grass cutting or the like, is to be performed by the vehicle as it moves along the traveling course. An obstacle sensor is mounted on the vehicle, and when the sensor detects presence of an obstacle on the predetermined traveling course, the steering control system operates to cause the vehicle to leave the predetermined traveling course and to detour around the obstacle while maintaining a substantially constant distance between the obstacle and the moving vehicle. The control system is also operative to determine whether the obstacle is stationary or movable and, upon completion of the vehicle travel along the predetermined course, is operative to determine whether a movable obstacle has been removed from the predetermined course and, if so, causes the vehicle to perform its working operation in that portion of the region in which the working operation was not previously performed due to its detour around the obstacle.

    摘要: A position detecting system of a moving vehicle wherein a light beam scanned around the vehicle to be reflected by reference retroreflective means is received on the vehicle, the azimuth of each retroreflective means to be detected in the next scan is predicted, the azimuth of a particular incident light which forms the smallest angle with the predicted azimuth and is detected between two reference point discrimination azimuths preset at both sides of the predicted azimuth is judges to be that of an expected reflecting means and utilized for the position detection of the moving vehicle. When the expected retroreflective means is missed in a turning course, a previously known included angle which is formed by two straight lines connecting a turn center to said missing retroreflective means and another retroreflective means disposed just before, respectively, is added to the azimuth of the another retroreflective means in the next scan, and the resultant sum angle is used as the azimuth for the missing retroreflective means.

    摘要: In a steering control system for a moving body in which azimuths of reference points are detected by rotatively scanning a light beam around the moving body, a current position of the moving body is calculated based on the azimuths of reference points, and the moving body is steered so that the current position thereof follows a predetermined travelling course that is calculated in accordance with an algorithm previously stored in a memory. The system assigns each detected reference point to each reference point in said algorithm for calculating the relative traveling course, based on one of a reference point that is detected first under the condition that the azimuth exceeds a first predetermined angle, and a reference point that is detected last with the azimuth being less than a second predetermined angle when the azimuth is measured with respect to the advance direction of the moving vehicle initially placed in the traveling area before the start of a work. A traveling course is set according to said algorithm using the positional information on the assigned reference points.
