Abstract
A transport vehicle capable of detecting the position of a surrounding object without detecting the shape itself is provided. The transport vehicle includes a point group acquisition unit and an edge specifying unit. The point group acquisition unit acquires a point group by horizontally irradiating cargo loaded on a cargo loading unit and an object around the transport vehicle with light. The edge specifying unit analyzes the acquired point group using a frequency distribution with distances in left-right and front-rear directions as axes, and specifies sections with frequencies, adjacent to an area with substantially no frequency, as positions of edges in the left-right direction or the front-rear direction of the cargo and the object around.
