There is provided a vehicle, e.g., an automated guided vehicle (AGV), which is capable of being introduced and operating at low cost, and a control system for such a vehicle. A vehicle guidance system for guiding a vehicle includes: the vehicle, a positioning device to measure a location of the vehicle and output location information of the vehicle, and a guidance device to guide the vehicle. When the guidance device guides the vehicle from a first location, through a second location, to a third location, the guidance device transmits a first guidance command for guiding the vehicle from the first location to the second location. While the vehicle is moving from the first location toward the second location in accordance with the first guidance command, the guidance device estimates an expected location of arrival of the vehicle based on a change in the location of the vehicle as measured by the positioning device. The guidance device generates a second guidance command for guiding from the expected location of arrival to the third location, and before the vehicle arrives at the expected location of arrival, transmits the second guidance command to the vehicle at least once.
