Abstract
In a detection apparatus (boarding/exiting detection apparatus), an acquisition unit (second acquisition unit) acquires an acceleration of a vehicle in a period determined based on a first time point when a door of the vehicle is opened and a second time point when the door is closed after the first time point. A determination unit determines that a passenger of the vehicle gets on or gets off the vehicle, based on a temporal variation in the acceleration acquired.
