Abstract

Magnetic marker detection system for a vehicle including sensor array with magnetic sensors arrayed in a width direction to detect a magnetic marker laid in a traveling road includes differential circuit that obtains a difference between magnetic measurement values for each combination of two magnetic sensors spaced with a predetermined space, arithmetic circuit that performs process for detecting a position of the magnetic marker by processing the difference for the each combination, and setting circuit that selectively sets the predetermined space for obtaining the difference between magnetic measurement values; magnetic marker detection system can detect the magnetic marker laid in the traveling road with high certainty, irrespective of variations in attachment height of the magnetic sensors on a vehicle side.
