Abstract
An in-vehicle information providing apparatus includes a storage unit that stores therein a station-facility image management table in which station-facility image selection conditions including at least a station name, a traveling direction, and a door opening direction are associated with station facility images, and a station-facility image database in which a plurality of station facility images corresponding to the station-facility image selection conditions are registered for each station. The in-vehicle information providing apparatus further includes an image-display control unit that selects, from the station-facility image database, a station facility image in which train information acquired from a train information management apparatus matches with the station-facility image selection conditions, by referring to the station-facility image management table, and transmits the selected station facility image as station-facility image information to the respective display units.
