Abstract

An article transport facility includes a plurality of transport vehicles. In a combined state in which the plurality of transport vehicles are combined in such a manner as to be adjacent to each other, the plurality of transport vehicles constitute a transport route in which a plurality of transfer sections cooperate to transport articles. While the transport vehicle performs a combining operation with a combination target vehicle that is another transport vehicle that is a combination target, the control unit at least partially disables a surrounding area sensor so as not to detect the combination target vehicle.
