Abstract
The present invention provides an improved track sensor arrangement for an automated vehicle operating on an automated storage and retrieval system, arranged whereby the sensor directly detects the position of the vehicle in relation to an access opening. The term 'directly detects' in the context of the present invention is to be understood to mean that the gripping mechanism of the vehicle is correctly positioned in relation to the access opening at the precise moment the sensor detects a specific structural feature of a track. In one aspect the specific structural feature of the track is an intersection adjacent to an access opening.
