Abstract
An intersection information distribution apparatus includes a plurality of image capturers, one or more first wireless communicators, a position estimator, and a controller. The plurality of image capturers capture images in and around an intersection. The one or more first wireless communicators perform directional communication with a second wireless communicator mounted on a vehicle. The position estimator estimates a position of the vehicle in and around the intersection from a communication state of the directional communication. The controller selects a piece of data from among pieces of data of the images captured by the plurality of image capturers on the basis of the estimated position of the vehicle. The one or more first wireless communicators transmit the selected piece of data to the second wireless communicator of the vehicle.
