Provided is a transport vehicle comprising a vehicle, a distance meter for measuring the distance to an obstruction, an onboard controller for controlling the vehicle, and a communication device for communicating with a management controller managing the vehicle, wherein the onboard controller: executes a primary determination regarding whether a presumed dirty state exists, in which an objective surface of the distance meter is presumed to be dirty; directs the vehicle to stop at the current position, when it has been determined by the primary determination that a presumed dirty state exists, and, after the elapse of a set amount of time after the execution of the primary determination, executes a secondary determination regarding whether a presumed dirty state exists; transmits an alarm to the management controller via the communication device, when it has been determined by the secondary determination that a presumed dirty state exists; and directs the vehicle to resume travel, when it has been determined by the second determination that the presumed dirty state has been eliminated.
