Abstract
In a method for changing the position of cargo located on a cargo receptacle of a driverless transport vehicle, the drive of the transport vehicle is controlled by a vehicle controller. The actual position of the cargo is detected by a detection device connected to the controller, and a cargo position correction vector to a cargo target position on the cargo receptacle is determined by the vehicle controller from the actual position of the cargo, and the vehicle controller controls the drive such that the transport vehicle is substantially accelerated in the opposite direction to the cargo position correction vector so that the cargo reaches the cargo target position on the cargo receptacle.
