Abstract

A road stud includes a terminal storage unit, a light emission unit, a moving body detection unit, a radio communication unit, and a terminal control unit. The terminal storage unit stores preset unique fixed position information. The light emission unit emits a preset light to the surroundings. The moving body detection unit generates a detection signal indicating that a nearby moving body has been detected. The radio communication unit receives, based on fixed position information, an instruction signal for an operation of the light emission unit from a predetermined control system and transmits a detection signal to the control system. The terminal control unit controls a light emission unit based on the instruction signal.
