<p>A guided vehicle system which attains high carrying efficiency by designing an elaborate exclusion control at a joint section. The guided vehicle system (1) is provided with a traveling path, a plurality of guided vehicles (3), and a guided vehicle controller (27). The travelling path comprises a linear section (45), an exit-side connecting path (39), and a second joint section (41) where both of the paths join together. The guided vehicles (3) travel on the traveling path. The exit-side connecting path (39) comprises a standby section. The guided vehicle controller (27) controls the traveling of the vehicles (3). Until a predetermined number of guided vehicles (3) stop in the standby section of the exit-side connecting path (39), the guided vehicle controller (27) keeps the guided vehicles (3) on standby in the standby section of the exit-side connecting path (39) while allowing other guided vehicles (3) to continuously pass from the linear section (45) to the second joint section (41).</p> |
