Abstract
A power door-lock system includes a door-lock controller, a current position data obtainer, a security data obtainer, and a security situation identifier. The door-lock controller controls door-lock of a vehicle. The current position data obtainer acquires position data regarding a current position of the vehicle. The security data obtainer acquires security data regarding a region including the current position of the vehicle. The security situation identifier identifies a security situation of the current position of the vehicle based on the position data and the security data. The power door-lock system determines, based on the security situation identified by the security situation identifier, transition time from a door-unlocked state of the vehicle after a determination that a driver has got off to power door-lock, and allows the door-lock controller to make the power door-lock after an elapse of the transition time.
