A method for coordinating driverless transport vehicles is provided. A first trajectory calculated by a first of the transport vehicles and a second trajectory, calculated by a second of the transport vehicles, of the second transport vehicle are received by a central computing device. A space requirement of the first transport vehicle along the first trajectory and a second space requirement of the second transport vehicle along the second trajectory are determined by the computing device. If it is determined that the space requirements will at least partially overlap each other, the first or second transport vehicle is selected by the computing device, and a signal is transmitted to the selected transport vehicle. The signal prompts the selected transport vehicle to change its movement along its trajectory and/or its trajectory.
