Figure 5
Exemplary layout with travel commands as a combination of segments
The vehicle can be placed between the support points. The track controller uses the
incoming position data to identify what segment it is on and which support point fol-
lows next. The tracks to be driven on are defined from a combination of segments that
for example state where the vehicle has to turn. A travel command can be entered at
the central control unit, the vehicle control unit or directly at the steering controller.

Parameterization
An RS 232 interface is provided to set the parameters and to commission the vehicle.
It can be connected to a PC/ laptop with a serial interface and a terminal program.
This interface can be used to monitor and record driving conditions (e.g. for debug-
ging purposes) and to set, import or export driving parameters. Transponder and,
marker lists as well as segments can be exported, imported and displayed. This inter-
face can also be used to update the internal operating software on the track guidance
controller.
A display with a foil keyboard is integrated into the steering controller in order to enter
the segments and show status information.
Travel command:
Segments 1, 2, 3, 7
