Arrangement for the inductive track guidance of rail-independent vehicles

The invention relates to an arrangement for the inductive track guidance of rail-independent vehicles on a roadway. The latter has conductors laid in the roadway, determining the track, flowed through by alternating current and surrounded by an alternating magnetic field. The current position of the vehicle in the transverse direction relative to the alternating magnetic field is registered continuously by means of crossed antenna coils which are arranged at a specified separation above the roadway on the vehicle side. In addition, on the vehicle side, means are arranged with which a desired/current deviation of the transverse position of the vehicle, determined relative to the alternating field on the roadway side, can be converted into a steering command for the steerable vehicle wheels which will eliminate the transverse position deviation. In the case of local disturbances on the roadway side of the track-determining alternating magnetic field, in order to make unnecessary expensive measures on the vehicle side, especially multiple arrangements of crossed antenna coils for equalising or compensating the influence of the magnetic field disturbances, provision is made in particular of two conductors arranged parallel to each other as track-determining conductors laid in the roadway, the said conductors extending alongside each other at a mutual transverse separation of approximately 50 % of the height of the crossed antenna coils on the vehicle side and at the same height. Advantageously, in the case of concrete roadways having reinforcing steel extending at a specific uniform transverse separation in the roadway longitudinal direction, if the transverse separation of the [lacuna] corresponds ...
