AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing route setting technologies for vehicles, such as automated guided vehicles, do not adequately consider the vehicle's kinematics, leading to potential route deviations due to the shape of the guide route, which can hinder smooth travel.

Method used

A route setting device that acquires the vehicle's minimum turning radius and excludes route portions likely to cause deviations by estimating difficult-to-turn sections based on this radius, using map information to select a route that minimizes such sections.

Benefits of technology

Prevents route deviations by selecting a route that accounts for the vehicle's kinematics, ensuring smoother travel and reducing the likelihood of errors.

Abstract

To prevent an occurrence of route deviation caused due to the form of a guide route.SOLUTION: A route setting device that sets a guide route for a vehicle having a function of executing an error process when the vehicle deviates from the guide route, comprises: acquisition means for acquiring information identifying a minimum turning radius of the vehicle; and route selection means for selecting a guide route for the vehicle between identified start and end points, based on map information. Based on the information acquired by the acquisition means, the route selection means estimates a route portion in which the error process is executed when the vehicle travels; and exclude the estimated route portion from a selection target of the guide route.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 8
