CONVEYANCE TRUCK TRAVELING CONTROL METHOD AND TRAVELING CONTROL SYSTEM

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a conveyance truck traveling control method which consecutively controls the traveling of conveyance trucks so that the inter-vehicle distance of the conveyance trucks becomes an optimum value fpr avoiding the collision of the trucks to improve conveyance efficiency. SOLUTION: The conveyance speed of a subsequent conveyance truck is limited to the speed which is computed from a prescribed expression. According to this, a vehicle distance at each time between a preceding conveyance truck and a subsequent conveyance truck is optimized, and the conveyance distance interval at the time of conveyance is shortened, to improve the conveyance efficiency. Furthermore, a conveyance distance interval is reduced, thereby more conveyance trucks can simultaneously travel in a conveyance path of a fixed distance. COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT
