Recently, many attentions have been paid on a Personal Mobility Vehicle, as it is expected to be a new transportation vehicle. However as it is not always recognized as a safe vehicle in Japan, riding a PMV on public road is not permitted. The authors propose the new transportation system using PMVs as automatic driving vehicles, adapting a path following control and a spacing control. Prototype vehicles are produced and the basic performance and the feasibility of the proposed system are examined through the experiments and the numerical simulations.
