Each transport vehicle is configured to perform a vehicle following control if an inter-vehicle distance to the transport vehicle traveling ahead becomes less than or equal to a predetermined distance, the vehicle following control being a control in which traveling state of the own transport vehicle is controlled in order to maintain constant the inter-vehicle distance to the transport vehicle traveling ahead based on traveling state information of the transport vehicle traveling ahead. Each transport vehicle is configured to terminate the vehicle following control if preparation of the own transport vehicle for arrival at a destination is initiated while the vehicle following control is being performed or if a travel direction of the own transport vehicle at a branching location is determined to be different from a travel direction of the transport vehicle traveling ahead at the branching location while the vehicle following control is being performed.
