A controller for a vehicle includes: a disaster determining section that determines presence or absence of damage caused by a disaster; and an activating section that activates a capturing section mounted on the vehicle. An information processing system is an information processing system that includes plural vehicles and a server. The vehicle activates the capturing section mounted on the vehicle at the time of the disaster, and sends a video image captured by the capturing section and location information to the server. The server accumulates the video images sent from the plural vehicles, and associates the video images with map information.

Controller and information processing system for vehicle

In a traffic management system including a vehicle and a database, the vehicle transmits emergency vehicle information including position information of the vehicle to the database when an emergency vehicle is detected from an image which is captured by an imaging unit, and the database stores the emergency vehicle information transmitted from the vehicle. The traffic management system further includes an information processing device. The information processing device predicts a traveling route on which the emergency vehicle is to travel based on the emergency vehicle information stored in the database.

Traffic management system, control method, and vehicle

An information processing apparatus capable of communicating with a vehicle includes a storage unit configured to store a location of an autonomous driving prohibition section on a map in association with a release condition set based on a traveling state of the vehicle; and a control unit configured to acquire the traveling state of the vehicle including the location of the vehicle on the map from the vehicle through communication, the control unit being configured to determine whether or not to release the autonomous driving prohibition section based on the acquired traveling state of the vehicle, the location of the autonomous driving prohibition section and the release condition of the autonomous driving prohibition section, the location and the release condition being stored in the storage unit.

Information processing apparatus and information processing method

An information processing apparatus capable of communicating with a plurality of autonomous driving vehicles includes: a storage unit configured to store a location of an autonomous driving difficult section on a map in association with a predetermined release condition; and a control unit configured to acquire from the plurality of autonomous driving vehicles reporting data of each of the autonomous driving vehicles through communication, the reporting data including a location of the vehicle on the map and at least one of reliability of the autonomous driving, difficulty state information indicative of the autonomous driving being difficult or not difficult, and a result of driver intervention, and the control unit being configured to determine whether to release the autonomous driving difficult section based on the acquired reporting data and on the location and the release condition of the autonomous driving difficult section stored in the storage unit.
