Abstract: There is provided a technique capable of easily realizing control to cause an autonomous travel device to perform a predetermined operation at a predetermined position on a travel route. An autonomous travel device (2) is an autonomous travel device that travels along a line (1) placed on a travel route, and includes a detecting unit (line sensor (21)) that detects the line (1), and a control unit that controls an operation of the autonomous travel device (2) on the basis of a detection result from the detecting unit. The control unit determines a width (W) of the line (1) on the basis of the detection result from the detecting unit. If the determined width (W) of the line (1) is smaller than a predetermined reference width, the control unit causes the autonomous travel device (2) to perform a travel operation of traveling along the line (1).
