Abstract
The present invention is an induction control system for an autonomous-traveling vehicle that performs traveling and work autonomously while measuring the position of the traveling vehicle by using a satellite positioning system, the induction control system being characterized by, when the autonomous-traveling vehicle is moved backward, setting a virtual antenna position more backward, by a predetermined distance, than the antenna position of the satellite positioning system, and performing a lateral control by using a lateral deviation from a target path at the virtual antenna position. This makes it possible to travel along a pre-designed target path during a forward movement, turning, and a backward movement of the autonomous-traveling vehicle.
