  • Patent number: 6321146
    Abstract: A sensor is provided on the vehicle of a driverless transport system. The sensor is based on the principle of a computer mouse for ascertaining either a drift angle &Dgr;&agr; or the transverse movement is detected as a path difference &Dgr;q whereby lateral drift due, for example, to roadway covering irregularities and to curves, is detected directly. A considerable improvement in the tracking accuracy of driverless transport vehicles is thereby provided.
