    摘要: A vehicular system includes a measuring unit attached to a vehicle to detect a magnetic marker laid along a traveling road, a database storing position information of the magnetic marker, and a control unit that acquires the position information of the magnetic marker by referring to a storage area of the database. The database has stored therein position information of each magnetic marker to which a distance from a reference point on the traveling road as a starting point to each magnetic marker is linked. By referring to the database by using a distance traveled until the magnetic marker is detected after the vehicle passes over the reference point, position information of newly detected magnetic marker is acquired.

    摘要: A vehicle system includes a sensor unit including magnetic sensors for detecting a magnetic marker and non-contact displacement sensors which measure a displacement relative to a road surface where the magnetic marker is laid, a processing circuit which performs detection process for detecting the magnetic marker by processing a magnetic measurement value by the plurality of magnetic sensors, and a switching circuit which switches the detection process in accordance with displacement measurement values by the non-contact displacement sensors. By switching the detection process in accordance with the displacement measurement values by the non-contact displacement sensors, the magnetic marker can be detected with high reliability.

    摘要: A field magnet manufacturing method where a bonded magnet's inner surface press-fitted in a yoke has a certain accuracy irrespective of the accuracy of the yoke's outer circumferential surface. A cylindrical bonded magnet from binding magnet particles with a thermosetting resin is fixed in a tubular yoke of magnetic material. The method includes reheating and softening the bonded magnet after thermal curing; and press-fitting in the bonded magnet after the softening step from a tapered portion on one end side of the yoke to press the bonded magnet's outer circumferential surface against the yoke's inner surface. The press-fitting includes feeding the bonded magnet relatively into the yoke while allowing a relative posture variation between the bonded magnet and the yoke so the bonded magnet's inner surface to be remolded into a shape along the inner surface of the yoke exhibits almost the same accuracy as the yoke's inner surface.

    摘要: In a vehicle-oriented system (1) for providing information to a vehicle (5) side by using an information providing area (11) provided on a plane where a vehicle (5) moves, a magnetic distribution indicating the information by a plurality of N-pole magnetic markers (10N) is formed in the information providing area (11), and a sign (100) for identifying a position and orientation of the information providing area (11) is provided in the information providing area (11). Therefore, information can be provided by a magnetic method irrespective of a forwarding direction of the vehicle (5).
