Abstract
We propose the assist system for the sidewalk snow remover operation that makes sidewalk snow removal easier and safer. Current sidewalk snow removal is carried out by compact rotary snow blowers. The assist system provides information on guide routes and warnings to the vehicle drivers, the system always recognizes the vehicles position and provides assisting information corresponding to the position. Therefore, in order to assist effectively, it is essential for the assist system to predict the vehicle's attainment position. This paper explains the outline of the assist system and the dynamics of the vehicles, and shows the validity of this method with results from experiments and simulations.
