MANAGEMENT DEVICE, MANAGEMENT METHOD, AND PROGRAM

Abstract:

A management device manages an operation of a load-carrying vehicle which autonomously travels on a road with no driver on board and in which each of a plurality of storage parts shielded using a door which is opened and closed is able to store a load. The management device includes: an operation determination unit configured to decide an operation of the load-carrying vehicle; and an assignment determination unit configured to decide assignment of the load to any of the plurality of storage parts. When a type of new load to be collected is a prescribed type, the assignment determination unit makes a decision so that the new load to be collected is caused to be carried in a manner in which the load does not easily receive an influence from outside as compared with other types of loads.
