<p>In this guided vehicle system, guided vehicles load articles and travel along prescribed travel routes to convey the articles between load ports. A controller of the guided vehicle system communicates with a host controller and the guided vehicles, and creates travel schedules indicating the guided vehicle travel positions and times, ignoring interference with other guided vehicles. Interference between the guided vehicles is detected between the newly created travel schedules and travel schedules from which interference has been eliminated, and the travel schedules of the guided vehicles are corrected so as to eliminate the detected interference. The travel schedules from which interference has been eliminated are stored, the positions of the guided vehicles are stored on the basis of data received from the guided vehicles, and the travel schedules are corrected. The process is repeated of creating travel schedules, removing interference by travel schedule correction, storing travel schedules from which interference has been eliminated, and correcting travel schedules on the basis of the actual guided vehicle positions.</p> |
