Abstract:
A shelf transport system comprising a shelf transport vehicle transporting a shelf having shelf legs, the shelf transport vehicle comprising: a distance sensor measuring a distance to an obstacle; a shelf leg candidate detection module detecting shelf leg candidates, which are candidates for the shelf legs; a shelf arrangement candidate calculation module calculating shelf arrangement candidates, in each of which the shelf is virtually arranged on the shelf leg candidates; an excess/deficiency calculation module calculating, for each of the shelf arrangement candidates, the excessive and the deficient number of shelf leg candidates; a shelf arrangement determination module determining a shelf arrangement from among the shelf arrangement candidates based on the excessive and the deficient number of shelf leg candidates; and a movement destination determination module determining a shelf to which the shelf transport vehicle is to be moved based on the shelf arrangement.

Claim (Index 6):
The shelf transport system according to  claim 1 , further comprising a shelf transport vehicle management apparatus configured to manage identification information on the shelf and position information on the shelf in association with each other, and to manage the shelf transport vehicle,\n wherein the shelf comprises a shelf identification information provision unit configured to allow the shelf transport vehicle to acquire the identification information on the shelf, and wherein the shelf transport vehicle is configured to:\n get under the shelf to which the shelf transport vehicle is to be moved, which is determined by the movement destination determination module, between shelf legs of the shelf, and acquire the identification information on the shelf from the shelf identification information provision unit of the shelf that the shelf transport vehicle has got under; and \n recognize position information on the shelf transport vehicle based on the position information associated with the acquired identification information on the shelf.
