Vehicle control system

Abstract

To provide a vehicle control system that can suppress a decrease in work efficiency even when work delays occur in a work line where multiple vehicles are driven autonomously at predetermined intervals. [Solution] The vehicle control system according to this disclosure comprises a sensor that detects the position information of multiple vehicles in motion, and a controller that controls the movement of the multiple vehicles based on the position information acquired from the sensor. The system allows multiple vehicles to move autonomously at predetermined intervals on a work line, while workers move to each vehicle to perform tasks. If a delay occurs in work performed on any of the multiple vehicles on the work line, the controller reduces the speed of the multiple vehicles while maintaining the predetermined interval.

Claims

1. A sensor that detects the location information of multiple vehicles in motion, The system includes a controller that controls the movement of the plurality of vehicles based on the position information acquired from the sensors, A vehicle control system in which a plurality of vehicles are driven autonomously at predetermined intervals on a work line, and workers move to each vehicle to perform work, The aforementioned controller, If a delay occurs in work for any of the multiple vehicles on the work line, the speed of the multiple vehicles is reduced while maintaining the predetermined interval. Vehicle control system.

2. The aforementioned controller, The greater the degree of the aforementioned work delay, the greater the amount of the speed reduction. The vehicle control system according to claim 1.

3. The aforementioned worker is further provided with a delay notification device for notifying the worker of work delays, The aforementioned controller, Based on the information indicating the work delay transmitted from the delay notification device, the speed of the multiple vehicles is reduced. The vehicle control system according to claim 1 or 2.

4. The sensor is a camera, The aforementioned controller, The delay in the work is detected from the positions of the worker and the vehicle being worked on in the image captured by the camera, and the speed of the multiple vehicles is reduced. The vehicle control system according to claim 1 or 2.
