In an autonomous traveling apparatus, a normal traveling area and a deceleration area are set for a monitoring area in an area setting unit. A speed control unit limits a traveling speed of an apparatus main body on the basis of the monitoring area set in the area setting unit and a distance from the apparatus main body to an obstacle within the monitoring area if the obstacle present within the monitoring area is detected. If the obstacle is a movable body, an area change unit changes the deceleration area within the monitoring area that is set in the area setting unit to a deceleration area for movable body. This configuration makes it possible to support even a case where an obstacle is a movable body, in limiting the traveling speed in response to obstacle detection.
