An autonomous guided vehicle system has a guidance track 109 for guiding autonomous vehicles and at least one autonomous guided vehicle 101. The guidance track 109 includes a control section (fig 3) for conveying control information to the autonomous guided vehicle 101, and the control section includes a predetermined number of control blocks (302-309, fig 3), each control block being selectively magnetised to encode the control information. The autonomous guided vehicle 101 comprises a magnetic sensor 108 to detect a magnetic state of each control block and communicate this to a control unit coupled to the magnetic sensor 108, the control unit arranged to control the autonomous guided vehicle 101 to perform a command associated with the control information.
