Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent deterioration of the working efficiency while securing the safety to men, by calculating the distance between a self-traveling dolly and an obstacle from the output delivered from a distance detector set to the dolly and then controlling the speed of the dolly. CONSTITUTION:A distance detector 6 is set to a self-traveling dolly to deliver an output corresponding to the distance between the dolly and an obstacle. Based on this output the distance between the dolly and the obstacle is calculated, and an alarm 7 is actuated in response to the calculated distance. Thus the speed is reduced as the distance decreases, and the dolly is suddenly stopped when distance is less reduced.
