Claim 23:
24. A priority/subordination determination method, wherein priority/subordination concerning movement of a plurality of moving bodies including a first moving body and a second moving body, is determined based on a predetermined determination axis, the method comprising:
determining first state information, along the determination axis, associated with the first moving body;
acquiring second state information determined by the second moving body along the determination axis with the first moving body;
comparing, by the first moving body based on a prescribed rule, the first state information and the second state information; and
determining the priority/subordination relating to movement of the first moving body relative to the second moving body based on the determination axis,
wherein
the first state information comprises movable distance information indicating a first movable distance that the moving body is movable using a propulsion energy source of the moving body,
the second state information comprises movable distance information indicating a second movable distance that the other moving body is movable using a propulsion source of the other moving body, and
the determining of the priority/subordination comprises
determining that moving body is subordinate to the other moving body in response to determining that the second movable distance is less than the first movable distance,
setting a route of the moving body based on the priority/subordination, and
controlling the moving body based on the route having been set.
