An automatic guided vehicle that measures a surrounding state by a sensor capable of measuring a distance to an object, performs matching between map data and measurement data obtained by the measuring to obtain a current position, and runs, following preset route data, based on the obtained current position, comprising:

  • a storage section that stores correspondence information between addresses of certain positions in a drive area where the automatic guided vehicle runs and coordinates that are set in the drive area; and

    a control section that, when a movement target position is designated with one of the addresses from an external device, transfers the designated address into coordinates, based on the correspondence information between addresses and coordinates, and drives the automatic guided vehicle to coordinates that correspond to the address, following the route data.
