Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/1998/031182
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
In order to allow an amphibious traveling vehicle to safely travel along rails on a land and water and travel freely even off the rails underwater, a system comprising a traveling vehicle-side control system (51) which controls the operating state of the traveling vehicle is provided on the traveling vehicle which travels underwater or underwater and in the air, a host-side control system (53) which instructs the system (51) to operate the traveling vehicle and is provided separately from the traveling vehicle, and communication means (60 and 61) which transmit information between the systems (51 and 53), are connected to the systems (51 and 53) and constituted of modulators (54 and 55) which modulate received instruction information into beams of light, demodulators (56 and 57) which demodulate received beams of light into the instruction information, and light beam transmitters-receivers (58 and 59) which transmit the received beams of light so that the information transmission between the systems (51 and 53) can be performed with beams of light.
