Abstract
A vehicle control system for a multi-branching track has a main travelling track for guiding a vehicle, a storage unit disposed before a branch point and storing data for selectively guiding the vehicle to one of a plurality of branch tracks, and a data-reading unit mounted on the vehicle and for reading the data stored at the storage unit. The storage unit stores data of branching directions of the branch tracks and further data of addresses of stations included in the respective branch tracks, with the data and further data being correlated with each other.
