Abstract

In a running command system for an unmanned vehicle, path information is stored, a current running state is compared with running command instruction data, an end of an operation corresponding to the running command instruction data is detected, and new running command instruction data corresponding to the next operation is generated upon detection of the end of the operation. The optimal running command instruction data can be set to cause the unmanned vehicle to travel along a running path whose information is stored in a running course memory, thereby accurately guiding the unmanned vehicle to a destination.
