Abstract:
The self-propelled vehicle system includes a drive line, a start marker, and a self-propelled vehicle. The self-propelled vehicle includes a plurality of drive line sensors arranged, in a direction intersecting with the travel direction of the self-propelled vehicle, at a wider range than a width of the drive line, a marker sensor that detects the start marker, and a control unit. After the start marker is detected by the marker sensor, the control unit nullifies the detection output of one group of the drive line sensors out of a plurality of groups that are formed by dividing all the drive line sensors, and in accordance with the detection output of another of the groups, the control unit makes the travel direction of the self-propelled vehicle follow the drive line branched towards a side of the another group, which is one of the two drive lines branched into two directions.

Claim (Index 5):
The self-propelled vehicle drive system according to  claim 2 , further comprising an end marker arranged along the drive line at the side of the drive line at an downstream side of the travel direction with respect to the point where the drive line branches into the second direction and the third direction,\n wherein when the marker sensor detects the end marker after the start marker is detected by the marker sensor, the control unit: releases the nullification of the detection output of the first side group; in accordance with the detection output of each of the drive line sensors, causes the drive section to control the travel direction of the self-propelled vehicle such that the drive line branched to the side of the second side group comes closer to the center of the detection range of each of the drive line sensors; and causes the drive section to make the travel direction of the self-propelled vehicle follow the drive line branched to the side of the second side group.
