Abstract:
A track in a transport system includes a standby section associated with a certain processing apparatus to allow a transport vehicle to wait. When determining a transport request to transport a FOUP to a load port of the certain processing apparatus exists, the controller allocates, to the transport vehicle, a first transport command to transport the FOUP to the standby section. When reaching the standby section, the transport vehicle waits while holding the FOUP. Subsequently, when determining that the FOUP is transportable to the load port of the certain processing apparatus, the controller allocates, to the transport vehicle, a second transport command to transport the FOUP to the load port of the certain processing apparatus.

Claim (Index 15):
The transport system according to  claim 12 , wherein\n the certain transport vehicle travels along the track in one direction; when at least two of the plurality of the transport vehicles are waiting in the standby section, and a transport command to withdraw from the standby section is allocated to a specific one of the at least two of the plurality of transport vehicles waiting in the standby section, excluding a most downstream transport vehicle, the controller allocates a transport command to withdraw from the standby section and transport the object to the standby section again, to another transport vehicle downstream from the specific one of the transport vehicles; and when the controller determines, as the standby section-withdrawal condition, that the certain transport vehicle to which the first transport command has been allocated has withdrawn from the standby section at least a predetermined number of times, the controller allocates the third transport command to the certain transport vehicle to which the first transport command has been allocated.
