Abstract: A process for changing a running direction of an electromagnetically guided driverless vehicle is provided which process is applicable to the vehicles of both a single conduction wire guided type and a two conduction, wires guided type. The vehicle has right and left drive wheels and independent drive motors for the respective wheels. The drive motor is controlled by a motor speed control drive to which steering signals from a route sensors are supplied. The route sensor also delivers an on-route signal to a steering control device which produces a speed setting signal, a steering signal on-off command, and a forward/reverse command for the right/left drive wheels to supply them to the motor speed control device. The process for changing the running direction of the vehicle is characterized in the method of driving the right and left wheels independently with each other forward and reverse according to the turning direction.
