    Abstract: A control device used to generate a control command to cause a mobile object to move by driverless driving includes a matching section configured to perform matching using measured point cloud data and reference point cloud data in order to generate the control command, and a mobile object information acquisition section configured to acquire mobile object information by which an appearance feature of the mobile object is identified. The matching section is configured to perform the matching according to the mobile object information. The measured point cloud data is three-dimensional point cloud data on the mobile object acquired by using a distance measurement device. The reference point cloud data is date representing three-dimensional point cloud data for reference.
