ABSTRACT:
A beacon navigation system for a vehicle including a plurality of navigation beacons distributed about a premises through which the vehicle is to navigate, and a detector assembly for sensing a beacon and for resolving the azimuthal angle between the beacon and the vehicle. The system further includes an element for defining an optimum azimuthal angle between that beacon and the vehicle, and a device for determining the difference between the resolved angle and the optimum angle to represent the deviation of the vehicle from a designated path. A method of establishing navigational paths among navigation nodes proximate beacons is also disclosed.
