Provided are a server and a system that are capable of generating road traffic information on traffic congestion in a more appropriate manner, considering actual road traffic conditions. If a vehicle speed V falls below a first reference speed Vand then exceeds a second reference speed V(&#x3e;V), then a traffic congestion situation is estimated based on an inference that the vehicle is highly likely to have escaped from traffic congestion. To estimate a traffic congestion situation, it is required that a situation in which the vehicle speed V exceeds the second reference speed Vcontinue for a second specified distance or more or for a second specified time Tor more.
