A passenger boarding bridge includes first and second cameras and a controller. The controller is configured to express a position of various components by using a three-dimensional orthogonal coordinate system. The cameras capture images of the entrance when the cab is at a standby position. The controller calculates position coordinates of the entrance based on the images, and calculates target position coordinates of a distal end part of the cab at a temporary stop position based on the calculated position coordinates of the entrance. The controller performs an inverse kinematics calculation to calculate target position coordinates of a travel device, a target length of a lifting/lowering device, and a target rotational angle of the cab with respect to a tunnel unit for the cab to be at the temporary stop position, then causes the cab to move from the standby position to the temporary stop position.
