Traveling vehicle system

摘要

A traveling vehicle system includes a track network including tracks, a plurality of traveling vehicles, and a traveling vehicle controller. The controller is programmed and configured to include an abnormality detecting unit configured to detect an abnormality in a track on the downstream side of a diverging section including at least the track; and an entry determining unit configured to, in a case that a traveling vehicle that has just passed through the diverging section enters the track and a traveling vehicle that has immediately thereafter passed through the diverging section is about to consecutively enter the track, when the abnormality detecting unit has detected no abnormality, skip determination of whether the traveling vehicle is allowed to enter the track and, when the abnormality detecting unit has detected an abnormality, determine whether the traveling vehicle is allowed to enter the track.

1. A traveling vehicle system comprising:
a track network including a first track, and a second track and a third track that diverge from the first track at a diverging section; a plurality of traveling vehicles that travel in the track network; and a controller programmed and configured to control travel of the traveling vehicles and to include:
an abnormality detecting unit configured to detect an abnormality in a track on the downstream side of the diverging section, including at least the second track; andan entry determining unit configured to, in a case that one of the traveling vehicles that has just passed through the diverging section enters the second track and another one of the traveling vehicles that has immediately thereafter passed through the diverging section is about to consecutively enter the second track, when the abnormality detecting unit has detected no abnormality, skip determination of whether the other one of the traveling vehicles that has immediately thereafter passed through the diverging section is allowed to enter the second track and, when the abnormality detecting unit has detected the abnormality, determine whether the other one of the traveling vehicles is allowed to enter the second track.
