CONSTANT POSITION STOPPING DEVICE FOR UNMANNED VEHICLE

PURPOSE:To simplify and lighten an unmanned vehicle by executing an inching travelling with a stopper for stopping a constant position provided at the side surface of a station and a stopper detector arranged at the unmanned vehicle side and executing the constant position stopping of the unmanned vehicle. CONSTITUTION:Stoppers 9a and 9b, which become the reference surface to constant-position-stop an unmanned vehicle 1, are arranged at a station 8 side and stopper detectors 10a-10d to detect a stopper are arranged at the unmanned vehicle 1 side. The unmanned vehicle 1 is equipped with at least two steerable and drivable wheels 11a and 11b and remaining wheels are steerable wheels 12a and 12b and of the system in which the vehicle can travel in all directions. At the time of the constant position stopping action, the vehicle is travelled in the direction in which the stoppers 9a and 9b are arranged, turned in the providing direction of a stopper with the stopper vicinity first detected by any stopper detector as a turning center and while both stopper detectors 10a and 10b detects the stoppers 9a and 9b, a constant position stopping is executed. Thus, the unmanned vehicle can be simplified and lightened.
