Abstract
A vehicle body transport system includes an unmanned carrier carrying and transporting a vehicle body between work stations; and an imaging device including an imaging part imaging a traveling route of the unmanned carrier and the surroundings of the traveling route from above, an analysis part analyzing an image captured by the imaging part, and a transmission part transmitting a signal to the unmanned carrier. When a moving object other than the unmanned carrier carrying the vehicle body is present in the image, the analysis part predicts whether a movement trajectory that the vehicle body passes after a predetermined time intersects a movement position where the moving object is located after the predetermined time. When predicting that the movement trajectory and the movement position intersect after the predetermined time, the transmission part transmits an emergency operation signal to the unmanned carrier before the predetermined time elapses.
