Abstract
A route generation apparatus () has: a generating device () and a setting device (). The generating device generates, on the basis of an evaluation score (SC), a moving route of a movable object () that reaches a second position (WP_end) from a first position (WP_start) so as to avoid an interference between the movable object and an obstacle (O). The evaluation score is obtained by executing a weighting process on a distance (D_FL, D_FR, D_RL, D_RR) between the obstacle and specific portions (E_FL, E_FR, E_RL, E_RR) of the movable object on the basis of weighting coefficients (w_FL, w_FR, w_RL, w_RR). The setting device sets at least one weighting coefficient on the basis of a moving condition of the movable object during a period when the movable objects moves on the moving route.
