Abstract

To provide an automatic conveyance system of a railroad vehicle body for managing traveling of a vehicle body conveyance vehicle.SOLUTION: A vehicle body carrier 6 for carrying a loaded railroad vehicle body 5 to a predetermined position by automatic traveling along a traveling rail in a railroad vehicle factory travels by preset speed control while reading a plurality of ID tags installed in the railroad vehicle factory and storing position information for specifying a stop position, and stop control is performed by reading a predetermined ID tag. When a section between the ID tags provided at the stop positions before and after in the traveling direction is set as a target section, the vehicle body transport vehicle 6 compares a section traveling time calculated based on a distance and a traveling speed in the target section with an actual traveling time measured during traveling in the target section, and determines that there is an abnormality when the actual traveling time exceeds the section traveling time.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 10
