Abstract
The objective of the present invention is to move appropriately along a set reference route. This route setting method includes: a step for acquiring information relating to a reference route, which is a route along which a moving body moves; a step for determining whether the moving body is positioned on the reference route; and a step for setting a return route, which is a route for arriving at a merging position on the reference route, if the moving body is not positioned on the reference route.
