The collision- and conflict-free navigation of the AGTVs is ensured by the guidance and management system. This is based on different systems for positioning and tracking.

RFID

The Sensores of the AGTVs receive the information about the track by RFID transponders, embedded in the ground. The determination of position is carried out in all directions.

GPS

The „global positioning system“ (GPS) allows a geographical determination of position. Standard equipment allows an accuracy of about 10m. The requirements for AGTV control require a much higher precision. By auxiliary equipment such as DGPS, positions can be determined with an accuracy of up to ±3 cm. In addition to the position, direction and speed of the AGTV can be determined.

These technologies are tested over many years and are used in all weather conditions and wide temperature ranges.
