ABSTRACT:
In order to provide a track-guided transport system, and in particular a suspended monorail system, comprising a track network incorporating at least one node at which at least two track sections of the track network adjoin one another and also comprising a plurality of vehicles travelling along the track network and each of which comprises a control unit wherein the control of the movements of these vehicles can be effected in a simple and reliable manner even when there are a large number of vehicles, it is proposed that at least one successor or the information that the vehicle does not have a successor and/or at least one forerunner or the information that the vehicle does not have a forerunner be associated with each vehicle, wherein the information relating to the successor or the forerunner is stored in the control unit of the vehicle and is updated when the vehicle passes a node of the track network.
