Patent ID: 8855924

Claim:
A scheduling system which decides on an adjusted traveling plan for a moving body traveling according to a traveling plan for passing through a predetermined, specified pass-through position at a predetermined, scheduled pass-through time not to cause the moving body to have a near-miss with another moving body, comprising: a link creation unit implemented at least by a hardware including a processor and which creates a link as a partial route obtained by dividing a traveling route of a moving body indicated by traveling plan data; a link adjustment range calculating unit implemented at least by a hardware including a processor and which calculates, for each link, a link adjustment range as an adjustment range of a scheduled pass-through time of the moving body not to cause the moving body to have a near-miss with another moving body; an adjusted traveling plan deciding unit implemented at least by a hardware including a processor and which decides on adjusted traveling plan data indicative of a traveling plan of the moving body after adjusted by using link adjustment ranges of all links constructing the traveling route; a traveling model storage medium for storing the traveling model data indicative of traveling characteristics when the moving body travels along the traveling route; and a traveling condition storage medium for storing the traveling condition data indicative of limiting conditions when the moving body travels along the traveling route, wherein the link adjustment range calculating unit calculates the link adjustment range based on the traveling model data stored in the traveling model storage medium and the traveling condition data stored in the traveling condition storage medium, and wherein the adjusted traveling plan deciding unit decides on the adjusted traveling plan data based on the traveling model data and the traveling condition data.
