Abstract

An information processing apparatus encourages passengers to practice distributed boarding to enable smooth operation of vehicles. The information processing apparatus includes a controller. The controller is configured to acquire information indicating a boarding status of passengers at a stop when it is judged that a preceding vehicle has arrived at the stop, generate notification information to encourage passengers who have not boarded the preceding vehicle to practice distributed boarding onto a subsequent vehicle when it is judged that the boarding status satisfies a predetermined condition based on the acquired information, and provide the generated notification information to the preceding vehicle and/or the stop.
