To enable vehicles to travel safely without risk of head-on collision when they have been made to travel on an oncoming lane in order to avoid an obstacle on the original lane. In addition, when travel conditions have been set or changed, it becomes possible to transmit data quickly but a problem of a production efficiency being reduced as a result of all the vehicles being stopped does not arise nor is there a safety problem due to a delay in data changes. On the basis of a monitored result of the travel conditions of the travel track, a no-entry area E is established ahead of a vehicle Jm traveling on one lane of a 2-way dual-lane vehicle track. Then travel instructions are issued to the vehicle Jm, the travel instructions causing it to avoid the no-entry area and travel on a section L of an oncoming lane, a lane whose traffic runs in the opposite direction to the one lane. Travel instructions are issued to an oncoming vehicle Jt traveling on the oncoming lane which prohibits entry to the section L. In addition, an upper limit velocity is set on the section L. Then, travel conditions, including the upper limit velocity set for the section 47, are issued as the travel instructions to the vehicle. When the travel instructions are issued to the vehicle, the vehicle travels on the section 47 at a velocity which does not exceed the upper limit velocity.
