1. A moving apparatus, comprising:
a sensor;
a control unit configured to execute traveling control of the moving apparatus;
an upper unit that includes an article storage unit;
a light-emitting unit that displays a traveling route recognition display lines; and
a lower unit that houses a drive unit, wherein the control unit is further configured to:
input first detection information of the sensor attached to the moving apparatus,
increase a length of the traveling route recognition display lines based on an increase in speed of the moving apparatus, and
execute control to stop the moving apparatus and rotate the moving apparatus at a stop position based on a determination that a distance to an obstacle has reached a predetermined proximity distance, wherein
the determination is based on the input first detection information of the sensor.
