Abstract: A traveling body has a position detector, a traveling controller, and a determination processor. The position detector detects a position of the traveling body while the traveling body travels. The traveling controller switches between a first traveling method and a second traveling method. In the first traveling method, the traveling body is traveled along a guide member, by detecting the guide member laid on the traveling route, whereas in the second traveling method, the traveling body is traveled based on the position detected by the position detector without depending on the guide member. The determination processor determines a detection state of the guide member. The traveling controller switches from the first traveling method to the second traveling method, when the determination processor determines that the guide member is in a detection state in which the traveling body cannot travel by the first traveling method.
