Route generation device, route generation method, computer program, and mobile body management system

A route generation method to be executed by a route generation device that includes a computing device and a storage device, and generating a movement route of a mobile body,

• wherein the mobile body is a drone,
• the route generation method comprising:
• storing by a storage device:
• spatial region data formed by spatial regions configured to serve as a movement route of a mobile body, and status data indicating a status used to determine whether movement is possible at each timing in each of the spatial regions;
• executed in the computing device, receiving, through a receiving means, a departure point and a destination of a mobile body, and conditions of the mobile body including at least information for specifying a travel speed;
• executed in the computing device, extracting, as a movement route, a plurality of spatial regions including a route from the departure point to the destination for the mobile body under the conditions,
• executed in the computing device, changing a status of a spatial region extracted as a movement route of the mobile body in the status data in consideration of each timing according to a travel speed of the mobile body, and
• executed in the computing device, transmitting, through a transmission means, information on a spatial region of the movement route and a spatial region in proximity in association with each of the timings to a control device of the mobile body.

A mobile body management system including a route generation device that generates a movement route of a mobile body and a control device used for control of movement of the mobile body,

• wherein the mobile body is a drone,
• the mobile body management system comprising:
• a storage device of the route generation device configured to store:
• spatial region data formed by a plurality of spatial regions configured to serve as a movement route of a mobile body, and
