A method for a distribution system to move carriers on a transport plane , wherein the distribution system comprises at least one first carrier and at least one second carrier each adapted to carry a good , a transport plane comprising a number of moving positions at which each carrier can start to move, move, stop, wait, and/or change its moving direction, a drive means adapted to move each carrier to the moving positions , and a control device adapted to control the drive means, wherein the method comprises the following steps : a) the control device plans for each carrier a move from a first moving position to a second moving position and determines for each carrier reserved moving positions adjacent to its planned second moving position b) the control device checks if the planned second moving position of the at least one first carrier is located on a determined reserved moving position of the at least one second carrier c) if the planned second moving position of the at least one first carrier is located on a determined reserved moving position of the at least one second carrier , the control device plans for the at least one first carrier a new move to a new second moving position which is not located on a determined reserved moving position of the at least one second carrier d) the control device controls the drive means to move the at least one first carrier to its planned new second moving position and to move the at least one second carrier to its planned second moving position characterized in that the determined reserved moving positions of each carrier comprise at least one reserved moving position which is located in front of its planned second moving position and at least one reserved moving position which is located at at least one side of its planned second moving position with respect to the direction of its planned move . a) the control device plans for each carrier a move from a first moving position to a second moving position and determines for each carrier reserved moving positions adjacent to its planned second moving position b) the control device checks if the planned second moving position of the at least one first carrier is located on a determined reserved moving position of the at least one second carrier c) if the planned second moving position of the at least one first carrier is located on a determined reserved moving position of the at least one second carrier , the control device plans for the at least one first carrier a new move to a new second moving position which is not located on a determined reserved moving position of the at least one second carrier d) the control device controls the drive means to move the at least one first carrier to its planned new second moving position and to move the at least one second carrier to its planned second moving position characterized in that the determined reserved moving positions of each carrier comprise at least one reserved moving position which is located in front of its planned second moving position and at least one reserved moving position which is located at at least one side of its planned second moving position with respect to the direction of its planned move . <EOS>
