Guided control device for unmanned vehicle
First Claim
1. A guided travel control device for an unmanned vehicle for guiding and causing the unmanned vehicle to travel along a target travel course at a target speed, the guided travel control device comprising:
- target speed setting means for setting the target speed of the unmanned vehicle such that the target speed of the unmanned vehicle increases as a distance between a current point on the target travel course and a travelable borderline representing a boundary of a travel passage width in which the unmanned vehicle can travel increases; and
guided travel control means for guiding and causing the unmanned vehicle to travel along the target travel course so that the set target speed can be obtained.

Abstract
Guiding speed is increased while an unmanned vehicle is prevented from straying from a travel passage width, to improve the work efficiency. Target speed of the unmanned vehicle increases as a distance between a current position of the unmanned vehicle and a guidable borderline increases, and the target speed of the unmanned vehicle decreases as the distance between the current position of the unmanned vehicle and a guidable borderline decreases. The unmanned vehicle travels, along a travel path having adjacent inbound/outbound lanes, in a direction opposite to a direction of a vehicle on an oncoming lane. If it is determined that the vehicle traveling along the oncoming lane is approaching the unmanned vehicle, then the target speed of the unmanned vehicle is reduced, whereby the unmanned vehicle is caused to travel at a low guiding speed.
