Abstract: The multi-car trackless transportation system includes a pilot car and at least one secondary car connected to one another in a manner similar to a conventional tram system or the like. Each of the cars is connected to adjacent cars by pivotal connectors. The pilot car and the at least one secondary car each include an individual motor, drive system and steering system. In order to develop a virtual tramway or path, the pilot car transmits instantaneous velocity and steering angles measurements to the secondary car. The secondary car then applies these signals so that it has an equivalent velocity and steering angle at the same location as the pilot car when the measurements were taken.

Abstract: New and useful system, components and methods are provided for a transportation system in which one or more vehicles are moved between at least a pair of stations along a guideway that extends between the pair of stations. The vehicle is propelled along the guideway while one or more signals are transmitted that can be used for controlling the speed of the vehicle and the spacing between the vehicle and other vehicles on the guideway. A digital signal that decodes into a sync signal component and a spacing signal component is transmitted along the guideway, where the difference between the period of the sync and spacing signal components determines the predetermined speed of the vehicles moving along the guideway. Each vehicle has a virtual scan window, based on the actual speed of the vehicle, that is configured to follow the spacing signal component in a manner such that the relation of a predetermined point on the virtual scan window to the spacing signal component determines whether the vehicle is maintaining the predetermined speed or whether the speed of the vehicle needs to be adjusted to maintain the predetermined speed and spacing.

Abstract: A notification unit causes a notification device to notify that a consent input person has whereabouts of a responsibility related to a non-manipulation operation to operate a vehicle without manipulation of an occupant of the vehicle. An information acquisition unit obtains consent-input person information for identifying the consent input person who inputs a consent into an operation unit, after the notification unit notifies the whereabouts of the responsibility. A record unit associates consent information on the inputted consent with the obtained consent-input person information to cause a storage unit to store the associated information. A control unit starts the non-manipulation operation of the vehicle, in response to input of the consent, after the notification unit notifies the whereabouts of the responsibility.

Abstract: To provide a vehicle which can move independently as an own independent vehicle and can run integrally in linkage with another vehicle. A plurality of single-seat vehicles which can move independently are combined and they move integrally while a predetermined formation is maintained through linkage among respective vehicles. One of all the vehicles moving in linkage serves as a host vehicle and an occupant in the host vehicle becomes a driver in the linkage moving. A host vehicle 1 runs with speed/direction according to running operation conducted by an occupant. Simultaneously therewith, the host vehicle 1 instructs following vehicles 2 to 4 to synchronize (follow) the host vehicle. The host vehicle 1 transmits a speed, a direction, and a relative position to the host vehicle to the following vehicles 2 to 4 as moving information in order to synchronize the following vehicles with the host vehicle (maintain linkage relationship). The following vehicles 2 to 4 move based upon a follow-up instruction and feed status information including speeds and directions of the following vehicles, and their own positions back to the host vehicle 1 as own vehicle information.
