Title:
AUTONOMOUS DRIVING APPARATUS AND METHOD OF ON-LINE ELECTRIC VEHICLE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2011/046403
Kind Code:
A2
Abstract:
An autonomous driving apparatus mounted on an on-line electric vehicle having a power collection device supplied with power from a power supply device includes a plurality of lateral magnetic sensors installed in the on-line electric vehicle to sense lateral magnetic field values generated from the power supply device with respect to a driving direction of the on-line electric vehicle, a longitudinal magnetic sensor installed in the on-line electric vehicle to sense a longitudinal magnetic value generated from the power supply device with respect to the driving direction of the on-line electric vehicle, and a microprocessor for calculating a tilt angle between the driving direction of the on-line electric vehicle and the longitudinal direction of the power supply road by using the lateral magnetic field values and the longitudinal magnetic field value and determining a lateral position of the on-line electric vehicle by using the calculated tilt angle.
