acquire a detection result of an obstacle by the first UAV; and
generate evaluation data of the flight route for selecting a UAV from among the plurality of UAVs to fly on the flight route based on the detection result;
generate the evaluation data in which a route score is associated with the flight route,
select a UAV to fly on the flight route;
wherein the UAV is selected based on the route score assigned to the flight route and a flight score that is set for each UAV in advance;
wherein the flight score is based on a characteristic of the UAV;
wherein the at least one processor is further configured to select a UAV with a flight score equal to or higher than the route score;

change the route score to be larger than the flight score if it is determined that there is no flight route that enables the UAV to land at a destination point of the flight route;
transmit the flight route to the selected UAV;
wherein the selected UAV travels according to the flight route.
