Abstract
A travel vehicle system includes a travel controller to search a travel route that leads a travel vehicle to a station included in a transport instruction in accordance with map information and to control a travel of the travel vehicle along the travel route when the transport instruction is issued. The map information includes information on a specified point corresponding to at least one of a branching portion and a confluence portion. In addition to a one direction travel control to cause the travel vehicle to travel in one direction, the travel control sets a reverse travel zone in which the travel vehicle travels in a direction opposite to the one direction from/to the specified point as at least a portion of the travel route and causes the travel vehicle to travel along the travel route by performing a turnover travel control to cause the travel vehicle to travel in a direction opposite to the one direction in the reverse travel zone.
