Abstract
A traveling vehicle system includes a plurality of traveling vehicles to travel in a plurality of sections, a storage, and a controller. When each of the traveling vehicles has received a signal transmitted from the controller, each traveling vehicle receives the signal as valid information only when the signal contains information indicating the vehicle itself as a destination. After each of the traveling vehicles has switched a communication method based on information stored in the storage in accordance with one of the sections that the traveling vehicle has entered, even when a signal received by the communication method after this switching contains information indicating a vehicle other than the vehicle itself as a destination, the traveling vehicle receives the signal as valid information and determines that communication with the controller has been established.
