Abstract
The invention relates to a vehicle () for transferring a unit load to a unit load receiving device (), comprising: a running gear (), a drive device (), which drives the running gear on the basis of control commands for adjusting a velocity vector of the vehicle () and a vehicle frame () with a receiving component () for receiving the unit load (L), wherein: the vehicle () comprises a vehicle system (S) with a vehicle control function (), wherein the vehicle control function () uses or determines target trajectory follow-up commands as control target specifications, by means of which the vehicle () is moved on a vehicle movement path () along a target trajectory (ST), wherein the drive device () realizes, on the basis of the control commands, a transfer acceleration of the vehicle () at least in a portion comprising the target transfer point (), at which transfer acceleration the unit load (L) on the receiving component of the vehicle is moved onto the unit load receiving device () by virtue of the inertia of the unit load. The invention also relates to a logistics system (A) and a method for transferring a unit load (L) from a vehicle () to a unit load receiving device ().
