Abstract:
To make a transport vehicle stop close to a bund in dependence on the shape of the bund. A stop position determining device for a transport vehicle includes: a bund identification module (520) that identifies the shape of a bund (400) provided on a traveling surface based on information from an external sensor (231) provided on the transport vehicle; and a target stop position calculation module (530) that calculates a target stop position (SP) for the transport vehicle based on the shape of the bund identified by the bund identification module.
