Abstract

A method includes acquiring starting position information of moving bodies; acquiring destination position information of movement destinations; acquiring path information indicating paths on which the moving bodies can move; calculating, for each moving body, a minimum movement amount required for the moving body to move on a path from the starting position to each movement destination, based on the starting position information, the destination position information, and the path information; allocating a movement destination not allocated to any moving body to a moving body that has a minimum movement amount being the smallest of the minimum movement amounts and that has no allocation of any movement destination; further allocating, when there is a movement destination not allocated to the moving body on a movement route, the not-allocated movement destination to the allocated moving body; and determining movement routes of the moving bodies based on the allocation.
