The items are fed into the apparatus (10) at an input station (310) having a scanning station. The scanning station evaluates one or more characteristics of each item. The items are then loaded onto one of a plurality of independently controlled delivery vehicles (200). The delivery vehicles are individually driven to sort destinations. Once at the appropriate sort destination, the delivery vehicle (200) ejects the item to the sort destina- A 604 tion and returns to receive another item to be delivered. A re- induction conveyor (410) may be provided for receiving se - MI lect items from the vehicles and conveying the items back to the input station for re- processing. Additionally, a controller (350) is provided to control the movement of the vehicles based on a characteristic each item being delivered by each 603 vehicle. The system may also include vehicles having edge- detection assemblies for detecting items being loaded onto or discharged from the vehicles (200).
