DEVICE FOR SWITCHING THE TRAVEL METHOD OF A MOVING OBJECT, ASSOCIATED METHOD AND MOVING OBJECT

A transport method switching device includes :- a position estimation unit estimating a position of a moving object capable of moving by unmanned driving, using moving object information detected by a moving object detector, the moving object information being at least one of an image of the moving object and 3D point cloud data of the moving object,- a command generation unit generating and outputting a control command to move the moving object by movement control using the estimated position of the moving object; and- a movement control determination unit determining whether to stop the movement control using a transport starting position of the moving object in a transport device, and a moving object position being a position of the moving object in the transport section and including the estimated position.When the movement control determination unit determines to stop the movement control, the command generation unit stops the movement control.
