Description

Particularly, the guidance system of mobile vehicles automatically in which the LEB works allows to guide, via radio, the movement of one or various vehicles inside a controlled environment. The developed system makes the positioning of the mobile element through trilateration of ultrasounds, for this purpose a transmitter in the mobile element is used and three fixed receiving beacons, located inside the enclosed environment. The position of the mobile element will be estimated using the measurement of the time that takes for each beacon to receive the pulse. The orientation angle of the mobile element is deducted with a digital compass, integrated in it.
