Abstract

To provide an automatic traveling vehicle that can further accurately determine a self position by image-recognizing a landmark along a travel path or in the surrounding area thereof.SOLUTION: An automatic traveling vehicle 1 which can obtain a further accurate travel path R by using a corrected self-position information in such a manner that while storing identification information for a landmark L, including image data thereof, along with positional information on a surrounding environmental map M, the landmark L is individually identified based on the image information by imaging the landmark L using an imaging unit 14 mounted on a vehicle main body 10 (vehicle itself); a distance is calculated from the vehicle main body 10 to the landmark L by using depth information; and an estimated self-position of the vehicle main body 10 on the surrounding environmental map M is corrected.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2
