An automated transportation (10) system includes a plurality of vehicles (22) adapted to travel along a pathway, and a monitoring system (70) located within each vehicle and adapted to monitor a location and a speed between an associated vehicle and the pathway. The automated transportation system (10) also includes a transmitter (72) located within each vehicle (22) and adapted to transmit a signal that includes data on the location and the speed monitored, and a receiver (76) located within each vehicle and adapted to receive the signal from each of the other vehicles. The automated transportation system (10) further includes a controller (78) located within each vehicle and adapted to interpret the signal received by the receiver and control the associated vehicle to provide proper spacing between the remaining vehicles to avoid collisions therebetween and maximize throughput of the vehicles along the pathway.
Système de transport automatisé (10) comprenant plusieurs véhicules (22) adaptés pour se déplacer le long d'un chemin, et système de surveillance (70) situé à bord de chaque véhicule et adapté pour surveiller un emplacement et une vitesse entre un véhicule associé et le chemin. Le système de transport automatisé (10) comprend également un transmetteur (72) situé à bord de chaque véhicule (22) et adapté pour transmettre un signal qui comporte des données sur l'endroit et la vitesse surveillés, ainsi qu'un récepteur (76) situé à bord de chaque véhicule et adapté pour recevoir le signal de tous les autres véhicules. Le système de transport automatisé (10) comprend également un contrôleur (78) situé à bord de chaque véhicule et adapté pour interpréter le signal capté par le récepteur, et contrôler ainsi le véhicule associé pour assurer un espacement approprié entre les autres véhicules pour éviter des collisions entre eux, et maximiser le débit de circulation des véhicules le long du chemin.
