1. A magnet-guiding switching system, comprising:
a lane magnetic field device, comprising:
a plurality of first permanent magnets arranged at a first section and a second section of a first route in intervals, wherein the first route further comprises a guiding section located between the first section and the second section;
a plurality of second permanent magnets arranged at a continuous section of a second route in intervals, wherein the second route further comprises a switching section connected to the continuous section of the second route and the first section of the first route, and the continuous section of the second route and the second section of the first route are not coaxial;
a plurality of first switching electromagnets arranged at the guiding section in intervals; and
a plurality of second switching electromagnets arranged at the switching section in intervals;
a switching controlling module, comprising:
a magnetic field switching unit electrically connected to the first switching electromagnets and the second switching electromagnets, the magnetic field switching unit being configured to turn on or turn off the first switching electromagnets and the second switching electromagnets; and
a switching controlling unit signally connected to the magnetic field switching unit to send a switching controlling signal to the magnetic field switching unit; and
a route controlling center communicatively connected to the switching controlling unit, the route controlling center being configured to plan a driving route of a vehicle and to send a driving signal to the switching controlling unit;
wherein as the switching controlling unit informs the magnetic field switching unit to turn on the first switching electromagnets and to turn off the second switching electromagnets according to the driving signal, the vehicle is guided by magnetic fields of the first switching electromagnets to drive from the first section of the first route to the second section along the guiding section; as the switching controlling unit informs the magnetic field switching unit to turn on the second switching electromagnets and to turn off the first switching electromagnets according to the driving signal, the vehicle is guided by magnetic fields of the second switching electromagnets to drive from the first section of the first route to the continuous section of the second route along the switching section;
wherein the vehicle comprises a decision controlling module and a magnetic positioning unit configured to detect the magnetic fields of the first switching electromagnets and the second switching electromagnets, the decision controlling module comprises a track modifying unit, the track modifying unit modifies a turning angle of the vehicle and decides a turning starting time of the vehicle according to the magnetic fields detected by the magnetic positioning unit and parameters that affect a turning radius of the vehicle including a weight, a length, a wheel axle length and a current speed of the vehicle.
