TL;DR: In this article, a guide system consisting of at least one detector mounted on a vehicle and a guide rail along the path to be travelled by the vehicle is described, where each detector is forced to remain in contact with the rail.
Abstract: Guidance systems including at least one detector mounted on a vehicle and a guide rail along the path to be travelled by the vehicle. Each detector is forced to remain in contact with the rail. A throw-off-center between the vehicle and the guide rail is sensed by the detectors which cause guiding wheels on the vehicle to turn in a direction to reduce the throw-off center.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a survey on the AGV system design and details on the implementation of the control system based on: the real time expert system REAKT for path planning and health monitoring; a low cost ultra sonic range detection system using sensor data fusion for navigation and obstacle avoidance.

18 May 2000TL;DR: In this article, a landing guidance system is described for use with helicopters or other aircraft during the terminal phase of approach to a marine structure, such as a moving ship at sea.
Abstract: A landing guidance system is disclosed for use with helicopters or other aircraft during the terminal phase of approach to a marine structure, such as a moving ship at sea. Signals from shipboard pitch and roll position sensors are routed to a signal processor that computes stabilization corrections which, in turn, are applied to a multi-axis electromechanical system that moves internal elements of an optical system to compensate for motion of a shipboard platform resulting in a stabilized optical presentation in inertial space to the pilot of an approaching aircraft. A dual display is provided through the use of a spectral beam splitter that allows both an infrared and visible display to be presented to an approaching pilot. This allows the pilot to use the display with and without night vision devices. The visible energy display to the pilot is color-coded with three distinct colors.
