Abstract: The present disclosure makes it possible to deliver a construction machine through a preferred route. An information processing apparatus identifies, for a construction machine separable into an upper unit and an under unit including a self-propelled mechanism, an upper unit and an under unit to be delivered, based on positions of one or more upper units, positions of one or more under units, a position of a delivery place of the construction machine and a delivery deadline. The information processing apparatus identifies conveying vehicles to be used to convey the upper unit and under unit based on positions of the upper and under units and each position of conveying vehicles. The information processing apparatus calculates movement routes of the conveying vehicles. The information processing apparatus supplies information about the movement routes to terminals placed on the conveying vehicles.
