<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a vehicle allocation control method for an automatic carrying system for carrying, between a plurality of stations, products to be carried by a plurality of carrying vehicles traveling in the same direction on a loop-like track mutually connecting the stations, while improving the carrying efficiency by rationally dispatching a carrying vehicle with an available loading capacity for products, and an automatic carrying system using the vehicle dispatch control method. <P>SOLUTION: A plurality of assignment patterns of products to be carried to each carrying vehicle is derived in reference to the latest information for the products to be carried and the carrying vehicles existing in a station, the plurality of assignment patterns are simulated, and an assignment pattern having the highest carrying efficiency is selected based on the simulation results. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT</p> |
