Vehicle set-up and possible guidance systems

The new series of heavy goods vehicles have the ability to be fitted with various track guidance systems. Dependant upon the area of operations guide wire, transponder, satellite navigation (GPS), laser or even camera guidance systems can be used.

In addition rotary encoders are used to register the steering angle and driven route. Laser, ultrasound or radar systems are available as an optional means of detecting obstacles.
Due to the new (CAN-) controllable vehicle elements, e. g. steering cylinder, speed controller, automated gear box, brakes etc. it is possible to automate almost every vehicle with a minmal amount of alterations. The vehicle can be driven manually or automatically at any time.
