The present invention relates to a method for steering a vehicle (1) over a ground surface (4), wherein magnetic marking elements (5) are arranged in the ground surface at predetermined locations and wherein the vehicle is provided with a number of sensors (3) arranged adjacently of each other in transverse direction of the vehicle, wherein during travel of the vehicle the substantially vertical components of the magnetic field is measured in each of the sensors, and wherein on the basis of the intensities of magnetic field measured by the sensors an estimation is made of the position of these sensors relative to the magnetic marking elements, and thus of the vehicle relative thereto.

Cette invention se rapporte à un procédé de direction d'un véhicule (1) sur une surface de sol (4), dans lequel des éléments de marquage magnétiques (5) sont disposés sur la surface de sol en des points prédéterminés et le véhicule est pourvu d'un certain nombre de capteurs (3) disposés adjacents les uns aux autres dans la direction transversale du véhicule. Ainsi, pendant la marche du véhicule, les composantes essentiellement verticales du champ magnétique sont mesurées dans chacun des capteurs et, sur la base des intensités du champ magnétique mesuré par les capteurs, une estimation est faite de la position de ces capteurs par rapport aux éléments de marquage magnétiques et, partant, du véhicule par rapport à eux.
