3. A conveying vehicle that loads an article thereon and moves comprising:
-
an attachment fitting portion into which an attachment having a predetermined function is fitted; a memory device that stores determination criteria as to the presence or absence of a restriction on the movement of the conveying vehicle corresponding to the attribute of the attachment; a reception unit that receives information related to the attribute of the attachment from the attachment fitted into the attachment fitting portion; a determination unit that determines whether or not the restriction on the movement of the conveying vehicle is required, based on the determination criteria corresponding to the attribute of the attachment identified from the information received by the reception unit; and a control unit that controls the movement of the conveying vehicle according to the restriction when it is determined that the restriction is required, wherein the memory device further includes map information, wherein the determination criteria corresponding to the attribute of the attachment include information that associates the size of an article loaded on the conveying vehicle with information as to whether or not the conveying vehicle can pass through a path included in the map information, wherein the reception unit receives information related to the size of the article from the attachment, wherein the determination unit determines whether or not the conveying vehicle can pass through the path included in the map information, based on the size of the article identified based on the information received by the reception unit and the determination criteria, and transmits position information that indicates a position through which the conveying vehicle can pass, and wherein control unit restricts the path through which the conveying vehicle moves based on the position information. - View Dependent Claims (4, 5, 6, 7, 8)

9. A conveying system that has a conveying vehicle that loads an article thereon and moves and an attachment attached to the conveying vehicle,
wherein the attachment has a transmission unit that transmits information related to the attribute of the attachment, and wherein the conveying vehicle has: -
an attachment fitting portion into which the attachment is fitted; a memory device that stores determination criteria as to the presence or absence of a restriction on the movement of the conveying vehicle corresponding to the attribute of the attachment; a reception unit that receives the information related to the attribute of the attachment from the attachment fitted into the attachment fitting portion; a determination unit that determines whether or not the restriction on the movement of the conveying vehicle is required, based on the determination criteria corresponding to the attribute of the attachment identified from the information received by the reception unit; and a control unit that controls the movement of the conveying vehicle according to the restriction when it is determined that the restriction is required, wherein the memory device further includes map information, wherein the determination criteria corresponding to the attribute of the attachment include information that associates the size of the article loaded on the conveying vehicle with information as to whether or not the conveying vehicle can pass through a path included in the map information, wherein the reception unit receives information related to the size of the article loaded on the conveying vehicle from the attachment, wherein the determination unit determines whether or not the conveying vehicle can pass through the path included in the map information, based on the size of the article identified based on the information received by the reception unit and the determination criteria, and transmits position information that indicates a position through which the conveying vehicle can pass, and wherein control unit restricts the path through which the conveying vehicle moves based on the position information. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A conveying vehicle that loads an article thereon and moves, comprising:
-
an attachment fitting portion into which an attachment having a predetermined function is fitted; a memory device that stores determination criteria as to the presence or absence of a restriction on the movement of the conveying vehicle corresponding to the attribute of the attachment; a reception unit that receives information related to the attribute of the attachment from the attachment fitted into the attachment fitting portion; a determination unit that determines whether or not the restriction on the movement of the conveying vehicle is required, based on the determination criteria corresponding to the attribute of the attachment identified from the information received by the reception unit; and a control unit that controls the movement of the conveying vehicle according to the restriction when it is determined that the restriction is required, wherein the determination criteria corresponding to the attribute of the attachment include information that associates, according to the attribute of the attachment, the weight of an article loaded on the conveying vehicle with the upper limit of at least one of the moving speed and the acceleration of the conveying vehicle, wherein the reception unit receives information related to the weight of the article from the attachment, and wherein the determination unit determines whether or not at least one of the moving speed and the acceleration of the conveying vehicle is required to be restricted, based on the weight of the article identified based on the information received by the reception unit and the determination criteria.
