In order to obviate the need for measurement by a distance sensor in an unloaded state when measuring the volume of a load, this volume measurement device comprises: a first distance data acquisition unit for acquiring first distance data from above; a second distance data acquisition unit for acquiring second distance data associated with a back surface part and a side surface part of the bed, as well as the ground surface; a first identifying unit for identifying a frame of the bed using the first distance data; a second identifying unit for identifying the position of a bottom surface part of the bed using the second distance data; and a volume measurement unit for measuring the volume of a load on the bed on the basis of the results of identification by the first identifying unit and the second identifying unit.
