Filed:

Sep 22, 2010
Appl. No.:

12/887746
Inventors:

Phillip L. Koon - Huntsville AL, US
Gentry B. Stephens - St. Charles MO, US
International Classification:

G05D 1/02
US Classification:

701 2
Abstract:

Technologies are described herein for providing a trackless transit system and controlling adaptive trackless vehicles within that system. Aspects include an autonomous vehicle transit system for controlling vehicle movement of trackless vehicles in the transit system. The system includes a command, control and orchestration system (CCOS) and vehicle controllers. Each vehicle controller is associated with a trackless vehicle and communicates a current location to the CCOS, receives a navigation command, and controls the trackless vehicle according to the navigation command. Further, the CCOS provides navigation commands to the vehicle controllers to control movements of the trackless vehicles within the transit system according to vehicle position information received from the vehicle controllers. According to embodiments, a trackless vehicle may be switched between a driver controlled mode in which the vehicle is controlled by a driver and a system controlled mode in which the vehicle is controlled by the CCOS.
