Abstract
An information processing apparatus () includes a computation unit (), a selection unit (), and a processing unit (). The computation unit () analyzes a sensing result acquired by sensing a vehicle running on a road, and thereby computes the number of occupants in the vehicle and a certainty factor of the number of the occupants. As one example, the computation unit () computes reliability in the case of determining that a person exists related to each seat of the vehicle, and uses the reliability for each seat to compute a certainty factor related to each possible number as the number of the occupants in the vehicle. The selection unit () selects a sensing result with the computed certainty factor of the number of occupants which does not satisfy a predetermined criterion as an analysis result. The processing unit () allows the sensing result selected by the selection unit () to be in the state of being distinguishable from the other sensing results.
