To provide a rank traveling system for preventing separation of a rank.SOLUTION: A rank traveling system 1 for allowing multiple vehicles 3 to travel in a rank includes: a management device 6 for setting a sequence in a rank of vehicles; communication devices 35 being transmission devices arranged in the respective vehicles so as to transmit travel information related to a vehicle traveling state and being reception devices arranged in the respective vehicles so as to receive the travel information of at least one vehicle; and control devices 37 arranged in the respective vehicles so as to control an operation of the vehicles based on the travel information. The management device 6 arranges the vehicles by a sequence from the vehicle with lower travel performance from a beginning to an end in a traveling direction.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2 【課題】隊列が分断されることを防止する、隊列走行システムを提供する。【解決手段】隊列をなして複数の車両３を走行させる隊列走行システム１は、車両の隊列における順序を設定する管理装置６と、車両それぞれに設けられ、車両の走行状態に関する走行情報を送信する送信装置であり、車両それぞれに設けられ、少なくとも一つの車両の走行情報を受信する受信装置である通信装置３５と、車両それぞれに設けられ、走行情報に基づいて、車両の作動を制御する制御装置３７とを有する。管理装置６は、車両を進行方向に沿って先頭から後方に向かって、走行性能の低い順に配置する。【選択図】図２
