Title:
VEHICULAR DRIVING SYSTEM AND DRIVING METHOD THEREOF
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2011/090093
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Provided are a vehicular driving system and a driving method thereof that can improve production efficiency by driving a vehicle toward a loading point without fail even when the loading point is changed successively due to a movement or the like of a loader, and by keeping driving the vehicle as close as possible to the loader without stopping the vehicle forcedly (without waiting time). A waiting point, which is a point where the vehicle should stand by until permission is given by the loader to the vehicle, is set on a driving path. For example, a switch-back point is set as the waiting point. The vehicle drives from an entry point of a loading site to the waiting point along the driving path, and stands by at the waiting point until the permission is given by the loader. In a case when there is an order to change the loading point when the vehicle is standing by at the waiting point or driving from the entry point to the waiting point, a partial driving path is created, and the vehicle drives from the waiting point to the new loading point along the partial driving path. Meanwhile, in a case when there is no order to change the loading point when the vehicle is standing by at the waiting point or driving from the entry point to the waiting point, the vehicle drives from the waiting point to the original loading point along the driving path.
