1. A transportation management apparatus comprising a processor, wherein the transportation management apparatus manages a transportation system for transportation of goods in which a vehicle is caused to perform unmanned autonomous travel based on a travel plan in an unmanned autonomous travel section extending to a boarding point of a driver, and the driver drives the vehicle from the boarding point based on a driving plan, and
wherein the processor is configured to:
specify a scheduled time of arrival of the vehicle at the boarding point based on a congestion forecast for the unmanned autonomous travel section,
determine a scheduled time of departure of the vehicle from the boarding point based on the scheduled time of arrival,
change the scheduled time of arrival of the vehicle traveling the unmanned autonomous travel section and the scheduled time of departure of the vehicle based on an information of an occurrence of a congestion on the unmanned autonomous travel section,
check a next driving plan of the driver and when it is judged that the changed scheduled time of departure is an obstacle to the next driving plan for the driver, change the driver driving from the boarding point to another driver, and
transmit the driving plan to a driver terminal possessed by the another driver so that the another driver checks the driving plan.
