Abstract
A moving body control method for a moving body includes detecting position information and generating a surrounding map of surroundings of the moving body from map information corresponding to the position information, acquiring sensor information from a sensor and detecting non-map information from the sensor information, determining whether the traveling route can be calculated by adding the non-map information to the surrounding map and applying to the surrounding map first restriction information in which restrictions in setting a traveling route, if the moving body can calculate the traveling route, the first restriction information is applied to the surrounding map to calculate the traveling route, if the moving body cannot calculate the traveling route, second restriction information that relaxes restrictions in setting the traveling route is applied to the first restriction information to calculate the traveling route and the calculated traveling route is outputted to the traveling control module.
