An optical guidance system is the simplest ... of the three types of guidance systems. By using a line (either painted or pressure-sensitive tape) that contrasts in color with the floor, a light-sensing unit in the guidance system causes the steering wheel to follow the line. The towpath must be kept clean, as any paper or other object that obscures the guideline can cause the unit to stop. Optical guidance is most useful when routes have to be changed periodically. 2, record 1, English, - optical%20guidance%20system

[...] guidage optique : les circuits sont matérialisés par une bande de couleur claire tracée au sol; le guidage est assuré par une cellule photoélectrique agissant sur le dispositif électronique commandant la direction de l'appareil. Ce type de guidage est moins utilisé car il faut que la bande de guidage reste propre et ne soit pas détériorée par le passage des autres engins. 2, record 1, French, - syst%C3%A8me%20de%20guidage%20optique
