Abstract:
The present invention relates to a vehicle-stopping control system and method for an automated guided vehicle. More specifically, it relates to a vehicle-stopping control system and method for more conveniently and accurately stopping an automated guided vehicle at a location desired by a user. In order to achieve this aim, the present invention provides a stopping control system for an automated guided vehicle, comprising: a camera provided at the automated guided vehicle; a stop display unit which is provided outside the automated guided vehicle and displays the intended stopping location of the automated guided vehicle, and which is provided with RGB image data and a reference point defining a reference for whether or not the automated guided vehicle is positioned at the intended stopping location; an HSI conversion unit for converting, into HSI image data, RGB image data of an image which has been captured by the camera; and a control unit which finds the position of the reference point by comparing data recognised by the HSI conversion unit, with HSI image data of the reference point input, and which uses the position of the reference point to decide whether or not the automated guided vehicle has arrived at the intended stopping location and to control the operation of the automated guided vehicle.
