Remote control system of mobile objects
First Claim
1. A remote control system for mobile objects, comprising:
- a plurality of radio beacons;
a control station; and
one or more mobile stations;
each of said mobile stations being mounted on a mobile object;
each said mobile station comprising;
a location recognizer for recognizing its own position on a route map set in advance by a signal from said radio beacons,an obstacle detector for detecting the existence of any obstacles on the forward route of said mobile object,a ground speed detector for detecting the ground speed of said mobile object,a mobile controller for receiving the output signal of said location recognizer, the output signal of said obstacle detector and the output signal of said ground speed detector, anda communication section for communicating with said control station;
said control station comprising;
another communication section for communicating with each of said mobile stations, anda fleet control center for generating a change command for a route on the basis of said route map and the information received from said mobile controller;
said mobile controller controlling the movement of its own mobile object on the basis of one or more of said received output signals and the command from said fleet control center; and
said fleet control center supervising the operation of said one or more mobile objects on the basis of one or more of said output signals.

Abstract
A remote control system for a mobile object, comprising radio beacons each consisting of a master station and some substations, a mobile communication station mounted on each auto-pilot mobile for receiving the radio wave, such as millimetric, from each radio beacon, to let the mobile recognize its own position on the route map, and a control station for transmitting and receiving signals by radio waves to and from the mobile station so as to instruct and correct the moving route of the mobile. Each mobile station is equipped for detecting any corrugations on the route immediately ahead of it, for detecting the ground speed of the mobile, and preferably, for detecting the direction of the mobile so that each mobile station can manage the speed of the mobile object as its master, and can correct and change the route of the mobile on the map by the discriminated signals from these detectors, and the instructions from the control station on the basis of discrimination signals.
