PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve the operation efficiency of an autonomous moving device group control system by attaining early detection and solving of a deadlock state through simple structure. SOLUTION: Each autonomous moving device 1 of this system 1 includes a position information acquisition part for acquiring its own position information and a communication part for transmitting the position information to a central control unit 3 and receiving a destination. The central control unit 3 includes a communication part for receiving the position information from the moving device 2 and transmitting the destination; a deadlock determination part for determining the deadlock state for a plurality of autonomous moving devices 2 based on the position information; and a deadlock solving part 54 for giving an instruction to change the destination of at least one of the autonomous moving devices 2 laid in the deadlock state. Since the deadlock determination part determines and detects a state where the autonomous moving device stays within a predetermined distance longer than a predetermined time as the deadlock state, early detection and solving of the deadlock state can be attained with simple and easy determination, and the operation efficiency of the system can be thus improved.
