Abstract
A sorting system includes one or a plurality of transporter units, at least one loading station for loading a parcel onto transporter units, a plurality of destination stations, and a network of paths, each path including at least one track, the network including a plurality of junctions where at least two of the paths intersect. Each transporter unit is controllable to travel along the paths of the network of paths and to continue travelling along one of the at least two paths at a junction. A controller is configured to calculate a route within the network of paths between a loading station and a selected destination station, and to control the transporter unit to travel along the calculated route.
