(Operation mode setting process)
FIG. 27 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the operation mode setting process.
FIG. 28 is a front view showing the in-vehicle terminal that has received the operation mode display change command.
 モビリス10は、3種の運行モード(操縦支援モード、追従走行モード、ライントレースモード)を有している。操縦支援モードは、利用者7がジョイステック19によってモビリス10を操縦する際の運行モードであり、車載装置17が車間確保や自動制動による衝突防止アシスト等を行う。追従走行モードは、他のモビリス10や先導者に追走する際の運行モードであり、他のモビリス10や先導者に所定の間隔を保つように車載装置17がモビリス10を走行させる。ライントレースモードは、利用者7が指定した場所にモビリス10を移動させる際の運行モードであり、路面に貼り付けられた再帰反射テープ等に沿って車載装置17がモビリス10を自動走行させる。なお、携帯端末8では、安全性の観点からライントレースモードのみが可能となり、操縦支援モードや追従走行モードを選択することができない。 The mobilis 10 has three operation modes (maneuvering support mode, follow-up travel mode, and line trace mode). The steering assistance mode is an operation mode when the user 7 steers the mobilis 10 with the joystick 19, and the in-vehicle device 17 performs an anti-collision assist or the like by securing an inter-vehicle distance or automatic braking. The follow-up running mode is an operation mode when the other mobilis 10 or the leader follows the vehicle, and the in-vehicle device 17 causes the mobilis 10 to run so as to maintain a predetermined interval for the other mobilis 10 or the leader. The line trace mode is an operation mode when moving the mobilis 10 to a location designated by the user 7, and the in-vehicle device 17 automatically runs the mobilis 10 along a retroreflective tape or the like attached to the road surface. In addition, in the portable terminal 8, only the line trace mode is possible from the viewpoint of safety, and it is not possible to select the steering support mode or the following traveling mode.
 携帯端末8および車載端末18に搭乗完了信号を送信した管理装置31は、図27のフローチャートにその手順を示す運行モード設定処理を実行する。運行モード設定処理を開始すると、管理装置31は、図27のステップS61で運行モード設定ボタン97がタッチされたか否かを判定する。そして、ステップS61の判定がYesになると、管理装置31は、ステップS62で図28に示す運行モード表示変更指令を車載装置17に送信し、図28に示すように運行モード変更表示101をディスプレイ18aにポップアップさせる。運行モード変更表示101には、上述した3つの運行モード101a~101cと運行モード選択ボタン101dとが設けられ、利用者7が運行モードを選択できる。 The management device 31 that has transmitted the boarding completion signal to the portable terminal 8 and the in-vehicle terminal 18 executes the operation mode setting process whose procedure is shown in the flowchart of FIG. When the operation mode setting process is started, the management device 31 determines whether or not the operation mode setting button 97 is touched in step S61 of FIG. When the determination in step S61 becomes Yes, the management device 31 transmits an operation mode display change command shown in FIG. 28 to the in-vehicle device 17 in step S62, and the operation mode change display 101 is displayed on the display 18a as shown in FIG.

If this determination is Yes, the management device 31 enables the operation by the joystick 19 in step S64, and causes the in-vehicle device 17 to perform driving support in step S65. As a result, the user 7 can freely move within the site 3 as indicated by B in FIG. 1, while the mobilis 10 is input from the sensors 20a and 20b as indicated by B ′ in FIG. Based on the detection signal, warning, deceleration, braking, or the like is performed to prevent a collision with another mobile 10 'or pedestrian 9. Next, in step S66, the management device 31 transmits an operation support mode display command to the in-vehicle device 17, and changes the mode display 97a of the operation mode setting button 97 (see FIG. 26) to (operation support mode).
 ステップS63の判定がNoであった場合、管理装置31は、ステップS67で追従走行モードが選択されたか否かを判定する。そして、管理装置31は、この判定がYesであれば、ステップS68で追従走行を実行する。これにより、モビリス10は、図1中にC,Dで示すように、利用者7が決定した追従対象(先導者または先導車)に対し、所定の距離(例えば、2~3m)を保って追従走行するようになる。なお、図1中のDは、先導するモビリス10’に対して4台のモビリス10’が連なって追従走行する様子(いわゆる、パレード走行)を示している。次に管理装置31は、ステップS69で追従走行モード表示指令を車載装置17に送信し、運行モード設定ボタン97のモード表示97aを(追従走行モード)に変更させる。 If the determination in step S63 is No, the management device 31 determines whether or not the follow-up traveling mode is selected in step S67. And if this judgment is Yes, management device 31 will perform follow-up run at Step S68. As a result, as shown by C and D in FIG. 1, the mobilis 10 keeps a predetermined distance (for example, 2 to 3 m) from the tracking target (leader or leading vehicle) determined by the user 7. Follow the road. Note that D in FIG. 1 shows a state in which four mobiles 10 'follow the leading mobiles 10' and follow the vehicle (so-called parade traveling). Next, in step S69, the management device 31 transmits a follow-up travel mode display command to the in-vehicle device 17, and changes the mode display 97a of the operation mode setting button 97 to (follow-up travel mode).
 ステップS67の判定もNoであった場合、管理装置31は、ステップS70でライントレースモードが選択されたか否かを判定する。そして、管理装置31は、この判定がYesであれば、ステップS71でライントレース走行を実行する。これにより、モビリス10は、図1中にEで示すように、利用者7が指定した場所に向けが既定の走行ラインに沿って自動走行する。次に管理装置31は、ステップS72でライントレースモード表示指令を車載装置17に送信し、運行モード設定ボタン97のモード表示97aを(ライントレースモード)に変更させる。 If the determination in step S67 is also No, the management apparatus 31 determines whether or not the line trace mode is selected in step S70. And if this judgment is Yes, management device 31 will perform line trace run at Step S71. Thereby, the mobilis 10 automatically travels along the predetermined travel line toward the place designated by the user 7, as indicated by E in FIG. Next, the management device 31 transmits a line trace mode display command to the in-vehicle device 17 in step S72, and changes the mode display 97a of the operation mode setting button 97 to (line trace mode).
 利用者7による運行モードの選択が未だ行われす、ステップS70の判定もNoとなった場合、管理装置31は、ステップS63に戻って判定等の処理を再度実行する。 If the operation mode is still selected by the user 7 and the determination in step S70 is also No, the management device 31 returns to step S63 and executes the process such as determination again.
