Abstract
An article transport facility includes a control system that issues a transport command specifying a transport origin and a transport destination of an article to a transport vehicle. The control system is configured to execute predicted transport time derivation processing for deriving a predicted transport time for each of a plurality of candidate paths, and path selection processing for selecting a transport path for the transport vehicle to travel along from among the plurality of candidate paths. The control system preferentially selects a candidate path whose predicted transport time is within a reference range as the transport path in path selection processing regarding the candidate paths with a target transport destination as the transport destination.
