Abstract :
New Solutions of autonomous vehicles, which are traveling along a painted line on the floor, have been found. In many cases navigation along a painted line will not be accepted because the ground will not be suitable for a painted line. Environmental concerns prohibit putting anything in or on the ground. A free navigation system is necessary. The load and the size of these vehicles increase. Areas where they are found are expanding. It is undoubtedly true that a safety related position detection system with a strong sense of accuracy would be needed to establish such a secure communication. A system that operates with high accuracy and high reliability is introduced here.
