Conveying device

When new tasks are generated at any time at all positions of a conveying path, the conveying equipment improves the conveying efficiency of articles of the whole equipment. The control device is capable of outputting, to the transport vehicle V, a forward movement command for moving in the forward direction F on the transport path P toward the destination D, and a reverse movement command for moving in the reverse direction R on the transport path P toward the destination D. When a target task, which is one of tasks, has occurred, the control device also includes, as candidates, transport vehicles V located downstream of the destination D in the transport path P at the time of occurrence of the target task, and determines, from among the plurality of transport vehicles V, a transport vehicle V that executes the target task.
