METHOD FOR CONTROLLING INTER-VEHICLE DISTANCE AND CARRIER AND CARRIAGE SYSTEM

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for controlling an inter-vehicle distance, carriers, and a carriage system which, even when a preceding carrier is stopping at a place where a plurality of carriers adjacently stop, enables the following carrier to enter the place. SOLUTION: It is judged whether or not the target stop position of its own carrier and the stop position of the preceding carrier is a place where a plurality of carriers adjacently stop (a figure 3, S11, S14). When the target stop position of its own carrier and the stop position of the preceding carrier are adjacent, a distance shorter than that in normal traveling is set as an inter-vehicle distance (S15), and the traveling position is controlled based on the inter-vehicle distance.
