[0031]
 5, the service management apparatus 1, the container 20, the fork pockets 201, 202 and, detects the fork F101, F102. The surface denoted by reference numeral G is the road surface G.
 Service management apparatus 1, the first detection process, the container 20 and (at least part of the plug surface 211), to detect the fork pockets 201, 202. In one example of the first detection process, for example, service management apparatus 1 is flat or substantially flat surface (including a surface having irregularities) as the plane, perpendicular to the ground or floor surface (vertical direction) or substantially vertically to detect the standing plane. Service management apparatus 1 determines that in this plane, when detecting the fork pockets 201 and 202, an insertion face 211 of the flat container 20.
 Here, the service management apparatus 1, for example, detected at the bottom of the detected plane or planes, part does not detect the reflected light of the laser beam, the reception level is low portion of the reflected light of the laser beam, as the fork pockets 201 and 202 to.

 As shown in this figure, the insertion surface 211 of the container 20, the normal direction does not coincide with the Y-axis direction, that is inclined to the X-axis and Y-axis directions.
[0035]
 If, if not directly facing (in FIG. 6), the resulting insert the fork F101, F102 fork pockets 201 and 202, the fork pockets 201 and 202 from being damaged or destroyed. Moreover, this remains, if the forklift F1 grips the container 20 can not properly grip the container 20, or collapses the balance of the container 20, there is a possibility that by dropping the container 20. In other words, it can not be properly transport the transport target.

[0036]

 Fig. 7A and 7B are schematic views showing an example of a positive-to-determination according to the present embodiment.
 Figure 7A is a diagram showing a case where the forklift F1 is directly facing the container 20. 7A is a diagram of the sensing information, and projected into the XY plane in FIG.
 7B is a diagram of a case where the forklift F1 is not directly facing the container 20. 7B is a diagram of the sensing information, and projected into the XY plane in FIG.
 In Figures 7A and 7B, a solid line represents the laser beam. Further, in FIGS. 7A and 7B, for convenience, the container 20, describes fork F101, F102, and the projection of service management apparatus 1 by a broken line.
[0037]
 7A, the service management apparatus 1, the deflection angle theta is - [theta] P1 ≦ theta ≦ theta P1 + m in the range, and detects the plane 211. 7B, the service management apparatus 1, the deflection angle theta is - [theta] P2 ≦ theta ≦ theta P2 + n in the range, and detects the plane 211. Incidentally, theta i i a represents the one horizontal scanning order of the laser irradiation, that is, the number of times of irradiation. For example, theta i = - [theta] max is a + i × Δθ.
[0038]
 Work management device 1 determines that the plane 211 of detection, when detecting the fork pockets 201 and 202, the plane 211 is a plug surface of the container 20 (Sakomimen 211).
 Service management apparatus 1, determining confronting determine whether the forklift F1 is directly opposite to the insertion face 211 (container 20) is performed based on the sensing information. For example, service management apparatus 1, by Sakomimen 211 to determine whether parallel to the reference plane B1 (whether or not tilted), the confronting determination. Here, the reference plane B1, a plane parallel to the XZ plane, when the forklift F1 advances straight, a plane perpendicular to the traveling direction. For example, the reference plane B1, of such a surface is a plane including the service management apparatus 1 (projection opening).
[0039]
 Specific examples of the facing determination, service management apparatus 1, the distance R from the work management apparatus 1 to the object (reflective original) i based on the distance L from the reference plane B1 of the forklift F1 to insertion surface 211 i ( "reference distance L I also referred to) is calculated with". Here, the distance R i is a distance R detected by the i-th irradiation, represents the distance R from the work management apparatus 1 to the object (reflection source).
 For example, service management apparatus 1, the irradiation direction theta i cases, phi, the distance R to the object i if it detects a reference distance L i = R i cos | phi | × cos | theta i | is calculated as. Here, phi represents the deflection angle phi when performing i-th irradiation of the.
[0040]
 Service management apparatus 1, in Sakomimen 211, the reference distance L i and the reference distance L j difference ΔL of (i ≠ j) i, j = | L i -L j | on the basis, performs the facing determination. As an example, the service management apparatus 1, the reference distance adjacent L i and the reference distance L i + 1 difference [Delta] L i + 1, i = | L i + 1 -L i | based on, performs the facing determination.
 In this case, the service management apparatus 1, in Sakomimen 211, a difference [Delta] L i + 1, i when all is within the threshold value T1, determines that the forklift F1 is directly opposite to the insertion face 211 (container 20).
 On the other hand, the service management apparatus 1, in Sakomimen 211, a difference [Delta] L i + 1, i when at least one threshold value T1 greater than the forklift F1 is not directly facing the insertion side 211 (container 20) and determination to.
[0041]
 (If you are completely directly opposite) in FIG. 7A, in the range of ≦ i ≦ P1 P1 + m, L i is the same value. In this case, for example in the range of P1 ≦ i ≦ P1 + m- 1, the difference [Delta] L i + 1, i = | L i + 1 -L i a = 0 ≦ T1 |. In this case, the service management apparatus 1 determines that the forklift F1 is directly opposite to the insertion face 211 (container 20).
[0042]
 7B, the range of ≦ i ≦ P2 P2 + n, L i are different values, for example, L i is a monotone increasing function of i. In this case, for example in the range of P1 ≦ i ≦ P1 + m- 1, the difference [Delta] L i + 1, i = | L i + 1 -L i a> T1 |. In this case, the service management apparatus 1 determines that the forklift F1 is not directly facing the insertion side 211 (container 20).
[0043]
 Figure 8 is another schematic diagram showing an example of a positive-to-determination according to the present embodiment.
 The figure 8 is a diagram of the case where the forklift F1 is directly facing the container 20 is a diagram of the sensing information, is projected to the XZ plane in FIG.
 Service management apparatus 1, for a container 20 (Sakomimen 211), for example, at a position avoiding the fork pockets 201 and 202, L i performs positive pairs determined by calculating the. For example, service management apparatus 1, in a position higher than the fork pockets 201 and 202 (Z-axis direction to position greater value), and performs horizontal scanning. For example, this position in the vertical direction, is located above the top of the fork pockets 201, 202.

[0062]
(Summary of this embodiment)
 As described above, in the present embodiment, the service management apparatus 1 is a vehicle device mounted on a forklift truck F1 (handling machine). As shown in FIG. 13, the service management apparatus 1 (forklift F1), analysis unit 104 based on the sensing information acquired from the space recognition sensor (space recognition apparatus), inserting fork F101, F102 and (Sakomitsume) Container detecting the 20 (insertion target). Control unit 105, based on the sensing information, the determining confronting determine whether or not face the insertion surface 211 having openings of the fork pockets 201 and 202 (the insertion portion).
 Thus, the service management apparatus 1 can be confronting forklift F1 in the transport object of the container 20 such as a forklift F1 can properly carry transport object. For example, a forklift F1 can prevent the fork pockets 201 and 202 from being damaged or destroyed. Further, the forklift F1 is appropriately container 20 (good balance, be stabilized by) can be gripped to be transported can be prevented from dropping the container 20.
 Also, the space recognition apparatus, since recognizing the spatial coordinates, as compared to the proximity sensor, such as RFID, accurately, it may be possible to perform the facing determination. However, the present invention may be used in combination with the proximity sensor.
 Also, the space recognition apparatus, since determining whether directly opposite, in the actual positional relationship of the forklift F1 and containers 20 (including the orientation), it can be determined whether you face. For example, the automatic driving, even when the forklift F1 has not moved exactly as assumed trajectory, in response to that is determined not directly opposite, it is possible to perform the trajectory correction and the like.
[0063]
 Further, in the present embodiment, the service management apparatus 1, the control unit 105, the distance R up to at least two points of Sakomimen 211 i , R j or according to the difference based on, and face the Sakomimen 211 and determines whether or not. At least two points, in the vertical direction, is located above the top of the fork pockets 201, 202.
 The transport object forklift carrying fork pockets provided on the lower part, in its upper part, there is a continuous plane (part of Sakomimen 211). Work management device 1 uses the continuous plane, it can be performed confronting determination can be performed more accurately the positive pair determination.
[0064]
 Incidentally, the service management apparatus 1, in the vertical direction, a position higher than the top of the fork pockets 201 and 202, at a position lower than a certain height performs horizontal scanning, the distance R detected by the horizontal scanning i irradiation direction θ and i based on, it may be performed confronting determination. This particular height, for example, may be determined based on the height of the pallet. Thus, the service management apparatus 1, even when there is no plan for transportation target mounted on pallets, on the basis of the plane of the pallet, it is possible to perform the facing determination.
[0065]

 In the above embodiment, the control unit 105 (forklifts F1 or service management apparatus 1), when the forklift F1 is not directly facing the container 20, when in close proximity to Sakomimen 211 (container 20) to, may be a warning.
[0066]
 Specifically, the output unit 106, when determining the control unit 105 is not directly facing, when in close proximity to Sakomimen 211 may output a warning. And it is close to Sakomimen 211, for example, the reference distance L to a point on Sakomimen 211 i is a case where the threshold value or less. Conversely, the output unit 106, control unit 105 even when it is determined that no positive contrast, if not close to Sakomimen 211 may not output a warning.
[0067]
 Thus, the service management apparatus 1 until when the need for a warning is low, can be prevented to output the warning. For example, if the forklift F1 to a distant container 20 is located, forklift F1 may not carry the container 20. Further, the worker or the like, at a position away from the container 20 without confronting some cases be positive pairs from approaching the container 20. In such a case, the service management apparatus 1 can stop the warning output.
[0068]

 In the above embodiment, the control unit 105 (forklifts F1 or service management apparatus 1), the period in which the fork F101, F102 has not expired disconnect from the fork pockets 201 and 202 may be performed confronting determination .
[0069]
 Specifically, the control unit 105, when the gear is retracted determines whether fork F101, F102 has not expired disconnect from the fork pockets 201 and 202. For example, the control unit 105 stores in advance the position and shape of the fork F101, F102 (referred to as "fork D101, D102").
[0070]
 Control unit 105 determines in the sensing information, whether fork D101, D102 to be stored in advance is detected. As a specific example, the control unit 105, X fork D101, D102 are present in all Y coordinates, by comparing the Z coordinate of the Z-coordinate and the sensing information of the fork D101, D102, whether matching judge.
 Control unit 105 determines that if the fork D101, D102 to be stored in advance is determined to have been detected (Z coordinate match), the fork F101, F102 was fully disconnect from the fork pockets 201 and 202. On the other hand, the control unit 105, when the fork D101, D102 to be stored in advance is determined not to be detected (Z coordinate does not match), and determines a fork F101, F102 has not expired disconnect from the fork pockets 201 and 202.
[0071]
 Control unit 105, a period in which the fork F101, F102 are determined not to have expired disconnect from the fork pockets 201 and 202, may be performed confronting determination. Conversely, the control unit 105, when the gear is reverse, a fork F101, F102 is after it is determined that fully disconnect from the fork pockets 201 and 202, may not be performed confronting determination or warning.
[0072]

 In the above embodiment, the control unit 105 (forklifts F1 or service management apparatus 1), when the forklift F1 is determined to be directly facing the container 20, a forklift device itself is mounted F1 ( based on the vehicle information that indicates a steering angle of the vehicle), it may be a warning.
 Thus, the forklift F1, immediately after it is determined that you face, forklift F1 bends, it is possible to warn that no longer confronting.
[0073]
 (If the relative direction of travel straight, bent) Specifically, the control unit 105, when the forklift F1 is determined to be directly facing the container 20, the steering angle is larger than the threshold indicated vehicle information, to output a warning to the output unit 106.
 That is, the output unit 106, when the control unit 105 is determined to be positive against, based on the vehicle information that indicates a steering angle of the forklift F1, and outputs a warning. Here, the output unit 106, based on the vehicle information that indicates a steering angle of the forklift F1, when bent the moving direction of the forklift F1 outputs a warning.
 The control unit 105, based on the sensing information, it may be determined whether the bent direction of movement of the forklift F1. Control unit 105, for example, determines that the object detected is if you are displaced in a specific direction of rotation, are bent the moving direction of the forklift F1. In this case, the output unit 106 outputs a warning.
[0074]

 In the above embodiment, the control unit 105 (forklifts F1 or service management apparatus 1) may be employed directly facing judgment below. For example, the control unit 105, based on the detected fork F101, F102, may be performed confronting determination. Specifically, the control unit 105, based on the shape of the fork F101 and F102, in accordance with the hiding degree fork F101 and F102, performs the facing determination.
[0075]
 14A and 14B are schematic diagrams showing an example of detection results of the fork F101, F102 according to a modification to the embodiment.
 For example, service management apparatus 1 performs a sensing state where the fork of the forklift F1 is completely sensed to detect the fork of the forklift F1. For example, this state, at the start of the engine, when fitted with a service management apparatus 1 to the forklift F1, or a factory forklift F1. The detected fork this time is referred to as a fork D101, D102.
[0076]
 In Figure 14A, the fork D101, D102 are detected.
 Control unit 105 stores the shape and position of this fork D101, D102.
 Thereafter, the service management apparatus 1 performs a sensing to detect the fork F101, F102 forklift F1.
[0077]
 Control unit 105 compares the fork F101, F102 of the detected forklift F1, stored and fork D101, D102.
 Result of the comparison, the control unit 105 determines, for example, the shape of the fork F101 and fork D101, or, if any of the shapes of the fork F102 and fork D102 are different, fork F101 or F102 is not withdrawn and .
 Further, the control unit 105 determines withdrawn portion of fork F101 and fork F102, or, for the part that is not extracted, whether or not the difference of the area or the length of the shape is greater than the threshold value. If the difference is greater than the threshold, the control unit 105 determines that no directly facing. On the other hand, if the difference is less than the threshold value, the control unit 105 determines that the directly opposite.
[0078]
 Figure 14B is, for example, shows the case of a state shown in FIG. 12 is a diagram of a case where the forklift F1 is not directly facing the container 20. This figure, while the fork F102 is withdrawn from the fork pockets 202, is a diagram of the case where the fork F101 is not withdrawn from the fork pockets 201.
[0079]
 In this case, the control unit 105 determines that the coordinates of the tip portion of the fork F101 it is determined that the different fork D101 and (dashed line), different parts of the coordinates is plugged into fork pocket 201. For example, the control unit 105 determines the fork F101 is, by a length f1, is plugged into the fork pockets 201, or by a length f2, is disconnected from the fork pockets 201, and.
 On the other hand, the control unit 105 determines that the fork F102 and fork D101 are the same. In this case, the control unit 105, the fork F102 is withdrawn from the fork pockets 202, and determines.
 Control unit 105, for example, the difference in length is determined to be f1, determines whether or not the difference f1 is greater than the threshold value. If the difference f1 is larger than the threshold value, the control unit 105 determines that no directly facing.
[0080]
 As another modified example, the control unit 105, for example, if a fork D101 and the D102 was axisymmetric in the left-right (X-axis direction), and the detected fork F101 and F102 is whether the same line symmetry by determining it may determine whether you face. The control unit 105 immediately after the transport object has been made, or if the gear is reverse, performs the facing determination based on the fork F101 and F102, otherwise, may not be performed confronting determination .
[0081]

 In the above embodiment, the control unit 105 (forklifts F1 or service management apparatus 1) may be employed directly facing judgment below. Specifically, the control unit 105, the difference ΔL of the predetermined number of i, j based on, may be performed confronting determination, the difference ΔL of the position between a predetermined i, j on the basis of the , it may be performed confronting decision.
[0082]
 For example, the control unit 105, the difference ΔL in Sakomimen 211 i, j of the difference ΔL of the predetermined number N1 i, j may be determined that is directly opposite the case is within the threshold value T11, the difference ΔL predetermined number N2 i, j may be determined that does not face the case of the threshold T12 greater than. The threshold T11 and T12 each other, or the number N1 and N2 each other, may be the same value or may be a different value.
[0083]
 For example, the control unit 105, the center (for example, deviation angle theta = 0) reference distance L i reference distance L at a predetermined distance from the center (or deflection angle theta, the number of irradiation times i or j) j difference ΔL between the i , j by comparing the threshold value T1, may be performed confronting determination.
 For example, the control unit 105, the reference distance L apart a predetermined distance or more i difference ΔL between the i, j may be compared to a threshold T1 of the end (edge portion) of the detected container 20 or reference the vicinity thereof distance L i and another position (e.g., next to the other end or near the center, a predetermined distance or more away from the edge) the reference distance L j difference ΔL of the i, j by comparing the threshold value T1 it may be.
 For example, the control unit 105, a predetermined distance (or deflection angle theta, the number of irradiation times i or j) for each, the reference distance L i extracts, extracted reference distance L i difference ΔL of i, j on the basis of, confronting the determination may be performed. For example, the number of times of irradiation is the reference distance L for each 10 times i the case of using the control unit 105, [Delta] L P + 10, P= | L P + 10 -L P | and [Delta] L P + 20, P + 10 = | L P + 20 -L P + 10 |, [Delta] L P + 30, P + 20 = | L P + 10 -L P |, and may be used these average values.
[0084]
 The control unit 105, in consideration of the irregularities on the Sakomimen 211 may be performed confronting determination.
 15A and 15B are schematic views showing an example of a positive-to-determination according to a modification of the present embodiment.
 In this figure, the surface of the container 20 shown by a chain line, has irregularities. In this case, reference distance L of the convex portion i reference distance L of the recess j difference ΔL of i, j , the actual (average value of the coordinates of Sakomimen 211. For example, linear 212) the inclination of the plug surface 211 from also, it increases.
 For example, the convex portion and the concave portion are separated by a distance in the normal direction of the insertion plane (FIG. 15A in the Y-axis direction) D (also referred to as uneven distance D). If the sensor unit 101 detects the projections and recesses, [Delta] L i, j = D next, even though you face, exceeds the threshold value T1, it may be determined not to directly facing.
[0085]
 Control unit 105, a Sakomimen 211 linearly by approximation (linear approximation), based on the straight line that approximates, performs the facing determination. For example, the control unit 105, the coordinates of Sakomimen 211, an approximation of a straight line using the least squares method.
 In Figure 15A, the insertion surface 211 of the container 20 is approximated by a straight line 212. On the other hand, in FIG 15B, the insertion surface 211 of the container 20 is approximated by a straight line 213.
 Thus, the control unit 105, since the insertion face 211 detected linear approximation, even when there are irregularities on all or part of the surface of the container 20, appropriately whether insertion face 211 is directly opposite It can be determined.
[0086]
 The control unit 105 causes the Sakomimen 211, a plurality of difference [Delta] L i, j based on the average value of the may be performed confronting determination. For example, the control unit 105, the difference in each other or around a position next to [Delta] L i, j may be used an average value of.
 For example, the difference [Delta] L i, j a, [Delta] L i, j = | [Delta] L i + 1, j + [Delta] L i, j + [Delta] L i-1, j | / 3 may be. Thus, the control unit 105, a difference [Delta] L i, j can level the value of the erroneous judgment can be prevented.
[0087]
 The control unit 105, in consideration of the unevenness of Sakomimen 211, the threshold T1, may be set a threshold value T11, or T12. That is, a value greater than the irregularity distance D (see FIG. 15A and 15B), the threshold value T1, may be set a threshold value T11, or T12.
 That is, even when there is unevenness of Sakomimen 211, as long as Sakomimen 211 from tipping, the difference [Delta] L i, j does not exceed an uneven distance D. Control unit 105, the threshold T1, sets a value greater than D in the threshold T11, or T12, despite directly opposite, it is possible to prevent put away determined not directly facing.
[0088]

 In the above embodiment, the control unit 105 (forklifts F1 or service management apparatus 1) may be set condition is not performed or to perform confronting determination.
 Control unit 105, when the first condition below is satisfied, performs output (warning) based on confronting determination, if not satisfied first condition, even without an output based on confronting determination good. The control unit 105, when the first condition is satisfied, performs the facing determination or sensing, if the first condition is not satisfied, may not be performed confronting determination or sensing.
 The control unit 105, based on the first condition, the output and based on the confronting determination, the facing determination or sensing (hereinafter, referred to as a warning, etc.) interval may be changed for.
[0089]
 The first condition is, for example, as described above, with the proviso that less than the distance of the container 20 and the forklift F1 threshold (in proximity).
 The first condition may be, for example, a condition based on the position information and the vehicle information. For example, the control unit 105 causes the warehouses, when containing forklift F1 is in a predetermined position (range), a warning or the like, may not be performed a warning or the like in the other position.
 For example, the control unit 105, gears a warning or the like in the case of forward, the other may not be performed a warning or the like. Control unit 105, gears a warning or the like in the case of reverse, the other may not be performed a warning or the like.
[0090]
 For example, the control unit 105, such as a warning when the vehicle speed is lower than the threshold, otherwise it is not necessary to perform a warning or the like. Conversely, the control unit 105, such as a warning when the vehicle speed is higher than the threshold, otherwise it is not necessary to perform a warning or the like.
 For example, the control unit 105, a warning or the like when the steering angle is smaller than the threshold value, otherwise may not perform a warning or the like.
[0091]
 The first condition may be, for example, a condition based on the fork information and work information.
 For example, the control unit 105, if there is no transport subject in grasping, a warning or the like, when the grip to transport the target and there may not be performed a warning or the like. Control unit 105, if the position of the fork F101, F102 (height) is less than the threshold value, a warning or the like, when the position of the fork F101, F102 (height) is higher than the threshold value, may not be performed a warning or the like .
 For example, the control unit 105, if a particular operator is operating, a warning or the like, otherwise, may not be performed a warning or the like.
[0092]
 The first condition is, for example, may be a condition that the fork F101, F102 is not withdrawn.
 For example, the control unit 105, when the fork F101, F102 are not withdrawn, warning or the like (e.g., warning) performs, when the fork F101, F102 was withdrawn, without any warning or the like (e.g., warning) and it may be. Furthermore, whether control unit 105, when the gear is reverse, or gripped by transporting the subject has no (Place the transport target, when no longer subjected to loads fork), in this condition, a warning, etc. or it may be determined.
[0093]

 In the above embodiment, the control unit 105 (forklifts F1 or service management apparatus 1), whether the service management apparatus 1 has been installed properly determined ( "Mounting determination "and also referred to) may be performed.
 For example, service management apparatus 1, when thus mounted inclined to the traveling direction of the forklift F1, when the forklift F1 is directly facing the container 20, will be determined not directly opposite (see Fig. 16B ).
 Service management apparatus 1 performs a sensing state where the fork of the forklift F1 is completely sensed, detected and forklift F1 fork D101 and D102. Service management apparatus 1 based on the fork D101 and D102 and performs mounting determination. Thus, the service management apparatus 1 is properly installed, it is possible to perform appropriate positive pair determination.
[0094]
 16A and 16B are schematic views showing another example of the detection results of the fork D101 according to a modification of the present embodiment and the D102. This figure represents the case where service management apparatus 1 is not properly installed. Incidentally, the straight line A1, the initial direction of the irradiation direction of the laser beam: represents a (deflection angle θ = φ = 0 is referred to as the initial optical axis A1). Straight A22, A23, respectively, Fig. 16A, at 16B, represents the axis of symmetry of the fork D101 and D102 of (also referred to as target axis A2).
[0095]
 Control unit 105 performs the mounting determined as follows. Control unit 105 detects the target axis A2 of the fork D101 and D102. Controller 105 compares the initial optical axis A and the target axis A2. Control unit 105, the service management apparatus 1 (irradiation port) as the origin of the orthogonal coordinate, the Y-axis as an initial optical axis A, is stored in advance.
 Work management device 1 (including the case is not in a predetermined range) the initial optical axis A and the target axis A2 may not match, it is determined that not properly attached. On the other hand, (including the case where the range determined in advance) If the initial optical axis A and the target axis A2 coincides determines that the service management apparatus 1 is properly installed.

 Also, if the service management apparatus 1 is fixed to the fork rail F11 and F12, work management device 1, as compared with when it is fixed to the backrest F13, easily recognized more fork pockets 201, 202. That is, since the service management apparatus 1 and the fork pockets 201, 202 approaches the height direction, the service management apparatus 1, the irradiation angle of the laser beam or the like to the fork pockets 201, 202 (the angle in the height direction), more horizontal It can be close to the (perpendicular to the insertion plane).
[0099]
 Note that the confronting determination, fork F101 and fork F102 is, may be to determine whether the normal to the container 20 or port 211.
 Moreover, spatial recognition sensor may perform spatial recognition using non laser light. For example, service management apparatus 1 may be performed spatial recognition using radio waves other than the laser beam, for example, may be performed space recognition using the captured image. For example, the space recognition sensor, a monocular camera, stereo camera, infrared camera, a millimeter wave radar, optical laser, LiDAR (Light Detection And Ranging, Laser Imaging Detection And Ranging), may be (ultrasonic) wave sensor or the like.
[0100]
 Also, work management apparatus 1 may be connected to the automatic operation device may be part of the automatic operation device. In other words, work management apparatus 1 performs loading deviation determination may be automatically operated forklift F1 as insertion amount is appropriate.
 For example, service management apparatus 1, the loading deviation determination result, the insertion distance d p so as to approach the range is predetermined gear, accelerator, to adjust the brake, for example, to the forklift F1 forward or reverse.
 Also, work management apparatus 1, the road surface G and walls, an object located far from the predetermined distance, may be excluded from the detection target (sensing information). For example, service management apparatus 1, when the projection to each side, excluding them from the projected object.
[0101]
 Incidentally, the service management apparatus 1, the container 20 and the bed L1, when detecting the fork F101, F102, may be used edge detection. Here, edges detected by edge detection, for example, the distance R, or a portion thereof change rate is large.
 Specific edge detection, the work management device 1, the detected object may be a partial portion of the differential is equal to or greater than the threshold value for each coordinate axis as an edge. Parts Further, for example, the service management apparatus 1, and Yamaji Waru planar portion between the detected difference portion becomes equal to or higher than the threshold of the distance R between a point adjacent or close to the opposite direction, which does not detect the reflected light of the laser beam the adjacent portions, the portion where the reception level of the reflected light of the laser beam adjacent to the lower portion, may be an edge. Service management apparatus 1 may perform edge detection by other methods.
[0102]
 Incidentally, the service management apparatus 1 described above, a program for realizing the functions may be recorded on a computer readable recording medium, to read the program recorded in this recording medium into a computer system, by executing, it may perform the above-described processing. Here, the "computer system" includes an OS and hardware such as peripheral devices.
