A movement control method for a multi-vehicle system for moving multiple vehicles to target positions individually set for the vehicles includes: acquiring first positions of the vehicles; determining control input for moving the vehicles from the first positions to second positions away from the target positions by a first distance or more while the vehicles satisfy a predetermined condition; and updating the first distance to be a shorter distance when a distance between the second position and the target position of each of the vehicles becomes equal to or more than the first distance and within an updating distance.

Moving control method, moving control device, moving control system, program, and storage medium for multi-vehicle

A method of controlling movement of multi-vehicle includes acquiring a constraint condition under which vehicles move and a calculation cycle for calculating movement routes of the vehicles; acquiring a position of each vehicle; specifying a target position for each vehicle; calculating, based on the position of each vehicle, the target position, and the constraint condition, a movement route for prediction steps of each vehicle; determining, based on the movement routes of the vehicles, a driving condition of each vehicle from a current time to a unit time; and controlling movement of each vehicle. Calculating the movement route including performing optimization calculation based on an evaluation function, evaluation of which becomes higher as a deviation between the vehicle and the target position for each prediction step becomes smaller, and the constraint condition, to calculate the movement route.
