DEFINITION

Classification: 414/231

With control system responsive to changeable operating instructions:

(under subclass 227) Apparatus provided with a system for controlling the movement of a vehicle to or from a site, which system has a capacity for accepting, comprehending, and responding to delivery, retrieval, etc., instructions which

are of a variable nature.

(1) Note. The concept of this subclass is that of a control system which, as a minimum, is capable of accepting (by code or otherwise) the designation of a site, analyzing the location thereof, selecting a route thereto, causing a vehicle moving means to follow that route and either deposit or pick up a vehicle upon reaching the site, and then causing the moving means to return to its usual locus for receiving incoming vehicles or discharging outgoing ones, or to an alternative locus if so ordered.

252, for a related but generally less complex system wherein the moving means, upon command, transports the vehicle along a predetermined route to a specified destination, and particularly, see (1) Note and (2) Note thereof.
