Abstract:
System for transmitting information of amphibious traveling vehicle comprising a traveling vehicle-side control system which controls the operating state of traveling vehicle and is provided on the traveling vehicle for traveling under water and in the air, a host-side control system which instructs the vehicle-side control system to operate the traveling vehicle and is provided separately from the traveling vehicle, and communication means which transmits information between the host-side and vehicle-side control systems and are connected to the systems, said system for transmitting information being characterized in that said communication means are constituted of modulators which modulate received instruction information into light beams, demodulators which demodulate received beams of light into the instruction information and a light beam transmitter/receiver, wherein the information transmission between the host-side and vehicle-side control can be performed with light beams including near infrared beam or visible light beam of green-blue color system, a traveling rail is laid in the water or from on the land into the water, said amphibious traveling vehicle is movably mounted on said rail, said light beam transmitter/receivers of said host-side control system are arranged along said traveling rail so as to carry out transmission to and reception from said respective light beam transmitter/receivers of said vehicle-side control systems of said amphibious traveling vehicles; andsaid amphibious traveling vehicle is constructed from a vehicle body moving along said traveling rail and a vehicle capsule mounted detachably on the upper side of said vehicle body, and said vehicle body and said vehicle capsule are respectively provided with said communication means and said control means of said vehicle side control system, wherein said light beam transmitter/receivers of said host-side control system are arranged in positions where they can car out a bilateral transmission/reception with said light beam transmitter/receiver of said vehicle capsule.
