Abstract
In an environment in which obstacles are present, a route map generation unitsets a boundary line formed by a group of points having an equal distance from the obstacles between the obstacles in a movable region that is a region in which a mobile body is movable, determines the number of lanes for a boundary line in accordance with a distance from each of the obstacles and a size of the mobile body moving between the obstacles, and generates a route map having number-of-lanes information. Furthermore, the route map generation unitupdates the route map according to a change of the movable region. A route planning unitplans a route for each mobile body such that the number of mobile bodies does not exceed the number of lanes indicated by the number-of-lanes information on the basis of the route map. A mobile bodyexecutes a movement task on the basis of a route plan generated by the route planning unit. A plurality of the mobile bodies can be efficiently operated even in an environment in which a passable region of the mobile body changes.
