Definitions

  • Fig. 9 is a diagram exemplifying a course data stored in the ROM 412 of the controller 4.
  • running routes for the respective cars 1 on the race track 2 are designated in advance, and the target positions of the running route for the respective cars 1 at times with certain time interval are stored as course data in the ROM 412.
  • routes R1, R2, and R3 there are shown designated routes R1, R2, and R3 for three cars 1A, 1B, and 1C.
  • target positions P11 to P18 are designated for the route R1
  • target positions P21 to P28 are designated for the route R2
  • target positionsP31 to P38 are designated for the route R3.
  • the way of designating the target positions i.e., the method of storing the course data can be arbitrarily set.
  • One of the methods is such that the race track 2 is arranged with H- ,V- coordinates intersecting with each other, and a coordinate value corresponding to the respective target positions is stored as course data.
  • the ROM 412 also stores target speed data of the respective cars 1 passing through the target positions.
  • the front LED 118 is disposed in the center of the front part of the car 1, whereas the rear LED 119 is disposed in the center of the rear part of the car 1.
  • These LEDs 118 and 119 face straight above.
  • the frequency band of the infrared radiations emitted from the LEDs 118 and 119 coincides with the transmission frequency band of the infrared transmitter filter disposed on the front surface of the CCD camera 6.
  • the LEDs 118 and 119 are constructed such that the light emitted therefrom propagate while spreading at a wide angle.
  • the image of the car 1 in any arbitrary position on the base 3 can be picked up by the CCD camera 6.
  • the discrimination as to whether the data is a LED data or a noise may be made as follows. A threshold dot number is set, and the data having the dot number which is not smaller than the threshold value is discriminated to be the LED data. Alternatively, the threshold value or level of the binary processing circuit 42 may be gradually increased while the LEDs are turned off, and the threshold level where the natural light can be completely cut may be set as a threshold value.
  • command signals are generated to turn off the front and rear LEDs 118 and 119 of all the cars 1, and are sent to all the cars 1 via the transmission LEDs (Step S6).
  • the processing is carried out in the data accumulating circuit 48 upon an interrupt.
  • the center of gravity position calculation in the initial position recognition in Steps S14 and S22 is performed in this subroutine in order to securely prevent an erroneous calculation resulting from the presence of unnecessary reflection light, and the like.
  • the moved amounts in the respective H- and V-directions are obtained: FH[i] - Hc, FV[i]-Vc.
  • Correction coefficients ⁇ , ⁇ are any values between 0 and 1, and are set to specified values in view of the set speed of the car 1, the size of the trace block etc.
