Abstract
A travel route determination system including: a route generating unit generating planned travel routes including work routes along which a work vehicle performs autonomous travel; a control unit capable of causing the work vehicle to perform autonomous travel along the planned travel routes; an information obtaining unit obtaining position information and orientation information on the work vehicle; and a determination unit determining an autonomous travel candidate route at which the work vehicle can start autonomous travel, before the work vehicle starts autonomous travel. The determination unit sets a candidate determination region based on the position information and orientation information on the work vehicle, and the determination unit determines, among the work routes, a work route in the candidate determination region as the autonomous travel candidate route.
