Abstract
A vehicle inspection system includes a vehicle, inspection equipment, a sensor, a detection unit, and a control unit. The vehicle is runnable by unmanned driving. The inspection equipment includes a drum that rotates while supporting a wheel of the vehicle. The sensor outputs sensor information to detect falling of the wheel off from the drum. The detection unit uses the sensor information to detect falling of the wheel off from the drum. The control unit increases braking force of the vehicle when falling of the wheel off from the drum is detected.
Claims9
A vehicle inspection system comprising:
- a vehicle runnable by unmanned driving;
- inspection equipment comprising a drum configured to rotate while the drum supports a wheel of the vehicle;
- a sensor configured to output sensor information to detect falling of the wheel off from the drum;
- a detection unit configured to use the sensor information to detect falling of the wheel off from the drum;
- and
- a control unit configured to increase braking force of the vehicle when falling of the wheel off from the drum is detected.
A control method comprising:
- a detection step to detect falling of a wheel of a vehicle runnable by unmanned driving off from a drum by using sensor information output form a sensor, the drum rotating while supporting the wheel;
- and
- a control step to increase braking force of the vehicle when falling of the wheel off from the drum is detected.
