METHOD AND DEVICE FOR CREATING OPERATION PROGRAM OF AUTONOMOUS VEHICLE

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To facilitate creation of an operation program on a site in a factory or the like having a shape other than a rectangle, in an autonomous vehicle autonomously traveling while avoiding an obstacle toward a goal. SOLUTION: The device for creating an operation program of the autonomous vehicle includes: a means displaying an obstacle map such as a layout; a means drawing route gates each determining a route section, work gates each determining a work section, and connection relation between the gates as a route map by designating points on the obstacle map; a means for determining an order of a minimum route from a section including a certain start point to a section including a destination by use of position information and connection information of the route map; and a means creating the operation program based on the route when the goal is given to the autonomous vehicle.
