MOVING BODY CONTROL SYSTEM

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a moving body control system using a simple structured module wherein a function not so often used is omitted. SOLUTION: A branch section wherein a signal lamp is installed on one section end part is virtually divided into two sections, a linear module 11 is allocated to the one divided section including the section end part wherein the signal lamp is installed, and a branch module 1 is allocated to the other divided section including a branch passage. The branch module 1, the linear module 11, and respective modules 2 to 4 allocated to adjacent sections are wired with each another. Advancing permission signals Pa to Pc and Pa' to Pc' and advancing moving body non-existence confirming signals Aa to Ac and Aa' to Ac' are transmitted and received. Thus, an interlock function is achieved and traveling of the moving body can be controlled. COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO
