Abstract

A system comprises: a bump/dip portion that is at least one of a bump configured to project freely from a track on which a vehicle is to run and a dip configured to be depressed freely from the track, the bump/dip portion being configured to allow the vehicle to get thereover, and a bump/dip controller that controls a height difference between the bump/dip portion and the track by operating the bump/dip portion.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A system comprising:
 a bump/dip portion that is at least one of a bump configured to project freely from a track on which a vehicle is to run and a dip configured to be depressed freely from the track, the bump/dip portion being configured to allow the vehicle to get thereover; and   a bump/dip controller that controls a height difference between the bump/dip portion and the track by operating the bump/dip portion.   
     
     
         2 . The system according to  claim 1 , wherein
 when the vehicle is to run on the track by manned driving by a passenger on the vehicle, the bump/dip controller controls the height difference to a first difference, and   when the vehicle is to run on the track by automatic driving, the bump/dip controller controls the height difference to a second difference smaller than the first difference.   
     
     
         3 . The system according to  claim 2 , wherein
 the bump/dip controller controls the height difference using at least one of identification information about the vehicle and step information about a step of manufacturing the vehicle.   
     
     
         4 . The system according to  claim 2 , wherein
 the bump/dip controller makes a determination whether the automatic driving or the manned driving is to be performed, and controls the height difference based on result of the determination.   
     
     
         5 . The system according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the bump/dip portion is the bump, and   the bump/dip controller operates the bump to control a degree of projection of the bump, thereby controlling the height difference.
