Original Abstract Submitted

A control apparatus according to the present disclosure is configured to execute the following first to five processes. The first process is a localization of a moving body. The second process is revising an estimated position obtained by the localization such that a displacement amount with respect to a previous position is within a predetermined range. The third process is regarding a revised estimated position obtained as a position of the moving body in a current process, and performing a control of the moving body based on the revised estimated position. The fourth process is detecting a poor accuracy of the localization based on a difference between the estimated position and the revised estimated position. The fifth process is performing an emergency control corresponding to a magnitude of the difference when the poor accuracy of the localization is detected.
