Claim 0:
1. An accommodation area management device which manages an accommodation area for accommodating a moving body and is capable of stopping the moving body at an accommodation position in the accommodation area, comprising:
an acquisition unit configured to acquire autonomous movement level information related to autonomous movement that the moving body can perform; and
a processing unit configured to determine an accommodation position for stopping the moving body based on the autonomous movement level information when the moving body enters the accommodation area, wherein
the accommodation area is capable of accommodating a plurality of moving bodies,
each moving body of the plurality of moving bodies accommodated in the accommodation area is classified into one of two or more classifications prepared in advance based on an autonomous driving level of the moving body,
the processing unit is further configured to determine an accommodation position of each of the moving bodies so that the moving bodies of a same classification are collectively accommodated in a partial accommodation area that is associated with the same classification in the accommodation area,
the processing unit is further configured to, when the autonomous movement level information of the moving body changes after entering the accommodation area,
identify, between a partial accommodation area corresponding to the autonomous movement level information before the change and a partial accommodation area corresponding to the autonomous movement level information after the change, a partial accommodation area that accommodates fewest moving bodies, and
determine an accommodation position included in the identified partial accommodation area as an accommodation position for stopping the moving body, and

the acquisition unit and the processing unit are each implemented via at least one processor.
