Abstract
A notifying device predicts the position of a vehicle, on a road through which the vehicle is predicted to pass, after a lapse of the time taken for the driver to fall into an abnormal state. When the predicted position of the vehicle is included in a communication impossible area, the notifying device notifies, at the position of a point where an indication that the driver is going to fall into the abnormal state is detected, a call center terminal that the indication that the driver is going to fall into the abnormal state is detected from the driver.
