Abstract: The invention relates to a system for simultaneously navigating two or more vehicles over a surface of relatively limited dimensions at relatively high speed and/or densities of the vehicles. A central control unit has a computer with memory and a transmitter/receiver for communication with each of the vehicles. Marker elements are arranged on or above the surface and mark the position relative to the surface. The two or more vehicles have drive elements, steering elements, navigational devices, transmitter/receivers and sensor means for sensing the position relative to the markers. The central control unit uses time as well as the sensed position in controlling the vehicles on the surface to precisely control the traffic.
