Abstract
A transport management system includes: a reception section that receives p transport task information pieces indicating transport tasks, each of which has a point of origin and a point of destination; a linkage section that generates q (q<p) linked-tasks information pieces by linking the p transport task information pieces; and an assignment section that assigns the q linked-tasks information pieces to q transport robots, respectively. The linkage section generates the q linked-tasks information pieces such that a total travel distance becomes shorter, the total travel distance being the sum of travel distances of the q transport robots, the travel distances being required for the q transport robots to carry out the q linked-tasks information pieces, respectively.
