1. An automated driving vehicle comprising:
a communication device which receives a traveling plan from an operation management device provided outside the vehicle, the traveling plan specifying departure or arrival times for each of a plurality of stations that are located along a traveling route; and
an automated driving controller which allows the vehicle to travel autonomously along the traveling route on which the plurality of stations are set so as to fulfill the traveling plan, wherein
the automated driving controller includes a memory in which is stored a standard plan which prescribes a standard operation schedule of the vehicle for autonomously traveling along the traveling route,
the automated driving controller determines whether the traveling plan has been received from the operation management device by a necessary time, and in a case that the traveling plan has been received from the operation management device by the necessary time, the automated driving controller determines whether the traveling plan is irregular,
the automated driving controller, in a case where the traveling plan has not been received from the operation management device by the necessary time or the traveling plan is determined to be irregular, generates an interim plan based on the standard plan, and allows the vehicle to travel autonomously along the traveling route so as to fulfill the interim plan, and
the standard plan prescribes departure or arrival timing for each of the plurality of stations at a time interval or an elapsed time from a point of departing from a specified one of the plurality of stations without specifying a time of day for departure or arrival at each of the plurality of stations.
