Abstract
A position-detecting system for a moving vehicle wherein the position of the moving vehicle is detected by scanning the light beam emitted from a light beam-emitting means mounted on the moving vehicle in the circumferential direction centering around the moving body, and receiving the light beam reflected from light-reflecting means disposed at at least three positions by means of a light-receiving means mounted on the moving vehicle, comprising a means for detecting the distance between the source of the reflected light received at the light-receiving means and the moving vehicle, and a means for reducing the rotational speed of the light beam scanning means in response to the operation of the distance detecting means.
