Abstract
An overhead transport vehicle performs a first transfer operation of holding an article placed on a loading pedestal of a transport origin, and a second transfer operation of placing the article onto a loading pedestal of a transport destination. A control device causes a shooting device to obtain a first shot image of the upper face of the article placed on the loading pedestal of the transport origin, and adjusts the relative positional relationship between the holding portion and the article placed on the loading pedestal of the transport origin based on the first shot image and first reference image data, and causes the shooting device to obtain a second shot image of the upper face of the loading pedestal of the transport destination, and adjusts the relative positional relationship between the holding portion and the loading pedestal of the transport destination based on the second shot image and second reference image data.
