Abstract
An on-board device is loaded in a moving vehicle and includes a control device configured to control the traveling of the moving vehicle. In the control device, an in-field traveling instructing section determines whether a blockade moving vehicle exists to hinder the traveling of the moving vehicle on a traveling route to an inspection field in a railyard, based on different moving vehicle related data in the railyard when the moving vehicle is an inspection waiting vehicle. A traveling route securing section requests securement of the traveling route to a railyard interface device that controls branching on the traveling route when there is not the blockade moving vehicle on the traveling route. A traveling permission section permits the traveling of the moving vehicle on the secured route based on traveling route state data from the railyard interface device.
