An installation system has a laser range finder set at a reference position to measure a distance to a target, an installation cart which performs operation for laying a magnetic marker in a road, and an arithmetic unit which identifies a position relation of a laying position where the magnetic marker is laid with respect to the reference position. When operation for laying the magnetic marker in a road is performed, by taking the installation cart during performing the operation of laying the magnetic marker in the road as a target, based on a distance to the installation cart measured by the laser range finder, the position relation of the laying position with respect to the reference position is identified by the arithmetic unit.

Marker installation method and marker installation system

Installation cart for laying a magnetic marker in a road to achieve driving assist control on a vehicle side has boring drill at each of front and rear of vehicle body, the boring drill boring accommodation hole as a laying position for the magnetic marker in road surface, is capable of boring accommodation holes at two locations with a predetermined space without moving in a state of being parked at any position, and is capable of performing efficient laying operation without requiring, for example, positioning of installation cart for enhancing accuracy of a space between these accommodation holes at two locations forming the laying positions.
