Abstract
A route/track planning unit () of a server () performs processing of determining a passing point having the highest moving efficiency within a non-interference range with other moving apparatuses in a moving direction from a track starting point of a moving apparatus toward a destination, processing of setting a track from the track starting point to the passing point having the highest moving efficiency, and processing of updating the track starting point to the passing point having the highest moving efficiency. Furthermore, the route/track planning unit () repeats these processes until the passing point having the highest moving efficiency becomes the destination, thereby generating a track plan indicating a track for moving efficiently to the destination. The track plan generated by the route/track planning unit () is transmitted to the moving apparatus via the communication unit. The server () can efficiently operate the moving apparatus ().
