Management system, control method therefor, and management server

Abstract

A management system comprises a movement management unit that communicates via a communication device with a plurality of moving bodies including an autonomous moving body provided with an autonomous control unit for moving autonomously, and that manages the movement of the plurality of moving bodies. The movement management unit comprises a priority/subordination determination unit that determines the degree of priority/subordination relating to the respective movements of the plurality of moving bodies on the basis of individual information of the moving bodies. The autonomous moving body comprises: a priority/subordination comparison unit that compares another priority/subordination degree, which is a degree of priority/subordination determined by the priority/subordination determination unit for another moving body that is a moving body, from among the plurality of moving bodies, different from the autonomous moving body, and the host priority/subordination degree, which is a degree of priority/subordination determined by the priority/subordination determination unit for the autonomous moving body; or a priority/subordination reception unit that receives the comparison results of the host priority/subordination degree and the other priority/subordination degree obtained by comparisons by the moving body management unit.
