Abstract:
A control apparatus for an automatic traveling vehicle includes a position sensor and circuitry. The position sensor is to detect a vehicle position of the automatic traveling vehicle. The circuitry is configured to control the automatic traveling vehicle to travel along a first route, a first turn route connected to the first route, a straight route connected to the first turn route, a second turn route connected to the straight route, and a second route connected to the second turn route in this order, and to calculate the straight route extending from a reference point on the first turn route to the second turn route such that the straight route is tangent to the second turn route.

Claim (Index 4):
The control apparatus according to  claim 1 , further comprising:\n a travel state sensor to detect a traveling direction of the automatic traveling vehicle at the vehicle position; wherein the circuitry is configured to\n calculate a distance between the second route and an additional reference point on the second turn route, \n calculate an angle made by the second route and a reference traveling direction of the automatic traveling vehicle at the additional reference point, and \n control the automatic traveling vehicle to travel along the second route when the angle is less than or equal to a second threshold angle and the distance is equal to or less than a threshold distance.
