FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating a configuration of an information providing system 10 according to the present embodiment. The information providing system 10 includes an information providing device 12, at least one vehicle-mounted device 14 (two are shown in FIG. 1) mounted on each of a plurality of vehicles, and at least one information terminal device 16 (in FIG. 1). Each of the two is connected via a network 18 such as the Web. The information terminal device 16 can be, for example, a mobile terminal device such as a mobile phone or a smartphone provided with display means and input means.

  FIG. 2 is a diagram functionally showing the configuration of the information providing device 12, the vehicle-mounted device 14, and the information terminal device 16. Each of the information providing device 12, the vehicle-mounted device 14, and the information terminal device 16 is connected via the network 18, and thus includes a communication unit for connecting to the network 18. Illustration is omitted.

  First, the information providing apparatus 12 will be described.

  The information providing apparatus 12 includes a vehicle travel information acquisition unit 20, a vehicle travel information database (DB) 22, an in-vehicle information generation unit 24, a basic information DB 26, a cloud worker information collection unit 28, an evaluation value calculation unit 30, and an evaluation value reception unit. 32.

  The vehicle travel information acquisition unit 20 acquires vehicle travel information related to the travel of the vehicle while the vehicle is traveling from the vehicle-mounted device 14 mounted on the vehicle. The vehicle travel information is, for example, information that can be automatically acquired (detected) through a CAN (Controller Area Network) system such as a vehicle traveling speed and acceleration, information that can be automatically acquired through GPS (Global Positioning Systems) such as position information, and This refers to image information representing a photographed image taken while the vehicle is running. The vehicle travel information is automatically detected by a vehicle travel information detection system 40 (described later) of the vehicle-mounted device 14.

  The vehicle travel information DB 22 is a database that stores each of the vehicle travel information acquired by the vehicle travel information acquisition unit 20.

  The in-vehicle information generation unit 24 generates first road related information including at least one of information related to roads and information related to facilities around the roads based on the vehicle travel information stored in the vehicle travel information DB 22. The first road-related information refers to information indicating a point predicted to be dangerous on road traffic, a point predicted to be safe on road traffic, a loophole, a recommended spot, and the like. Of course, the first road related information includes location information that can identify where the road is estimated to be dangerous (or safe), where the road is estimated to be an exit, and where is the recommended spot. And

  The on-vehicle information generation unit 24 also generates the usefulness of the generated first road related information. For example, when the first road-related information is information on a point predicted to be dangerous, the usefulness may be a risk indicating the degree of danger, and the first road-related information is safe. In the case of information of a point predicted to be present, the usefulness can be set as a safety indicating the degree of safety. Further, when the first road-related information is information on a loophole, the usefulness can be set to a degree that can be used as a loophole. When the first road-related information is information on a recommended spot, the usefulness can be set. Can be used as the recommended degree of the spot. It can be said that the usefulness is a value indicating how useful the first road-related information is, that is, the usefulness. Hereinafter, each combination of the first road related information generated by the in-vehicle information generation unit 24 and the usefulness thereof is referred to as in-vehicle information. The in-vehicle information generated by the in-vehicle information generation unit 24 is stored in the basic information DB 26.

Note that the second road related information also includes position information as in the first road related information (details will be described later).

  Here, the cloud worker is a person who participates in a for-profit or non-profit project (in this embodiment, the information providing system 10) via a network and provides labor. In this embodiment, the cloud worker In order to input the second road related information and the usefulness using the cloud worker information input unit 50 (described later) of the information terminal device 16 and the cloud worker information collection unit 28 collects the second road related information, the cloud worker information will be described below. Each of the combinations of the second road related information collected by the collecting unit 28 and the usefulness thereof is referred to as cloud worker information.

  In the following description, when the first road-related information and the second road-related information are described without particular distinction, they are simply referred to as road-related information.

  In addition, in this embodiment, although the cloud worker information collection part 28 demonstrates the example which collects cloud worker information from the information terminal device 16, for example, a driver | operator etc. separately from the vehicle running information detection system 40 in a vehicle. However, if an input device for manually inputting cloud worker information is provided (not shown), cloud worker information input from the input device may also be collected. In addition, the cloud worker information input unit 50 (and the input device of the vehicle when an input device is provided for inputting the cloud worker information to the vehicle) may be collectively referred to as a first input unit.

  The cloud worker information collected by the cloud worker information collection unit 28 is stored in the basic information DB 26.

  In the basic information DB 26, in-vehicle information and cloud worker information are stored, but are classified and stored for each content of road-related information. The content of the road-related information means, for example, a point predicted to be dangerous, a loophole, a recommended spot, and the like. In addition, the classified vehicle-mounted information and cloud worker information are given IDs (referred to as position IDs in the present embodiment) for distinguishing each of the road-related information.

  The evaluation value calculation unit 30 calculates an evaluation value for the road related information stored in the basic information DB 26 based on the vehicle travel information stored in the vehicle travel information DB 22.

  Here, the evaluation value is how useful the road-related information is with respect to the road-related information generated by the in-vehicle information generation unit 24 or collected by the cloud worker information collection unit 28. It is a value evaluated. Therefore, it is distinguished from the usefulness generated by the in-vehicle information generation unit 24 or collected by the cloud worker information collection unit 28.

  The evaluation value receiving unit 32 receives the evaluation values input from the evaluation value input unit 54 of the information terminal device 16 and the evaluation value input unit 44 of the vehicle-mounted device 14 with respect to the road related information stored in the basic information DB 26. Similarly to the evaluation value calculated by the evaluation value calculation unit 30, this evaluation value is also related to the road related information generated by the in-vehicle information generation unit 24 or collected by the cloud worker information collection unit 28. Although it is a value obtained by evaluating how useful the information is and how useful the information is, the evaluation value received by the evaluation value receiving unit 32 is a subjective evaluation value of the cloud worker.

  Hereinafter, the evaluation value input unit 54 of the information terminal device 16 for inputting the evaluation value and the evaluation value input unit 44 of the vehicle-mounted device 14 may be collectively referred to as a second input unit.

Based on at least one of the evaluation values accepted by the above, information to be provided is selected from the road-related information stored in the basic information DB 26 and provided (transmitted) to the user. Information provided to the user is referred to as provision information. In the present embodiment, the information providing unit 34 calculates, in the basic information DB 26, the usefulness of road-related information in which the number of evaluation values is accumulated more than a threshold, and officially provides information with the calculated usefulness being more than the threshold It shall be provided to users as information. Hereinafter, in order to distinguish the usefulness calculated by the information providing unit 34 from the initial usefulness generated by the in-vehicle information generating unit 24 or the initial usefulness received by the cloud worker information collecting unit 28, This is called usefulness.

  Until a certain number of evaluation values are accumulated in the basic information DB 26, the reliability of road-related information is not sufficiently ensured. Therefore, the road-related information is not transmitted as presentation information, and is treated only as an evaluation feedback target. Is called. That is, information for evaluation feedback (hereinafter referred to as evaluation target information) including information on the road related information that is the evaluation target, so that the evaluation value of the road related information is input by the second input means, It transmits to the onboard equipment 14 and the information terminal device 16. After a certain number of evaluation values are accumulated in the basic information DB 26 according to the transmitted evaluation target information, the transmission of the evaluation target information is stopped, and instead provided information based on the usefulness after the evaluation is provided. Send. The transmission timing of the evaluation target information may be the same timing as the transmission timing of the presentation information for the vehicle. Specifically, in the case of evaluation target information about a dangerous spot or recommended spot, the timing at which the vehicle or the information terminal device 16 enters a predetermined area including the position information of the dangerous spot or recommended spot. Also good. It is also possible to transmit the evaluation target information of the desired content at the date and time desired by the driver of the vehicle or the operator of the information terminal device 16. In addition, in order to distinguish evaluation object information and provision information, even if the contents presented by evaluation object information and provision information are the same, the presentation form of evaluation object information and the presentation form of provision information may be different. preferable.

As shown in FIG. 9, the position ID, the position information, the image information, and the risk level are stored in association with each other.

  Moreover, although the dangerous point was calculated | required here, a dangerous area or a dangerous area may be sufficient (the 2nd road relevant information mentioned later is also the same).

  Here, descriptions of the points that are estimated to be safe and the method for deriving the safety level are omitted, but for example, a point where the risk level is less than a predetermined value may be set as a safe level, and the higher the risk level, Alternatively, a correspondence relationship that lowers the safety degree may be obtained in advance, and a safety degree at a point where the safety degree obtained from the correspondence relation is higher than a threshold may be obtained.

  Next, a description will be given of a case where information on a loophole is generated as the first road related information. For example, when there are a plurality of routes from point A to point B, the escape route obtains the traffic volume and the average speed during traveling of the plurality of vehicles for each of the routes, and from these information It can be estimated whether or not each of the plurality of routes is a loophole. More specifically, when the number of traffic per unit time is less than a certain threshold number and the average speed is faster than the threshold speed, it is estimated that the path is a loophole. Here, if the average speed is lower than the threshold, it is predicted that the traffic is congested. Therefore, a route with a low average speed can be prevented from being extracted as a loophole.

  Further, the arrival time may be predicted to determine whether or not each of the plurality of routes is a loophole. That is, the average arrival time is obtained by dividing the distance from the point A to the point B by the average speed of a plurality of vehicles, and if the average arrival time is less than a predetermined threshold, it is determined as a loophole. Also good.

  Further, in addition to the conditions for the traffic volume and the average speed, a road having a road width equal to or larger than a predetermined width may be extracted as an exit path. For example, if a narrow road such as a school zone or a residential area is provided as information on a route other than the local residents, the traffic of vehicles other than the local residents increases, which may be annoying to the local residents. Therefore, filtering by road width may be performed before calculating the number of traffic and the average speed. Instead of the road width (or in addition to the road width), a loophole may be extracted based on the area attribute. That is, a road in an area whose area attribute is a residential area or a school zone may not be extracted as a loophole.

  The road width and area attributes can be grasped from the map information of CAN and GPS.

  Furthermore, in addition to the above information, vehicle width information may be acquired as vehicle travel information by the vehicle travel information acquisition unit 20, and the in-vehicle information generation unit 24 may be used to generate the in-vehicle information. For example, a road having a road width wider than the average vehicle width of the vehicle on which the vehicle-mounted device 14 is mounted may be taken as a path, and exit information indicating the path may be generated.

  Note that the “degree of loophole” that is the usefulness of the information of the loophole may be obtained as a loophole degree, for example, a value corresponding to the average speed or a value corresponding to the average arrival time. Specifically, the higher the average speed or the shorter the average arrival time, the higher the escape rate.

  Next, a case where recommended spot information is generated as the first road-related information will be described. The recommended spot is a point, section or area (in this embodiment, referred to as a spot) where vehicles of a threshold number or more gather per unit time based on vehicle position information and map information, and is a restaurant or leisure facility. A point where facility information such as is stored in the map information can be estimated as a “recommended spot”. For example, the recommendation level may be a value corresponding to at least one of the number of vehicles gathered per unit time and the average stay time. Specifically, the higher the number of vehicles and the longer the average stay time, the higher the recommendation level. In addition, when extracting a parking lot etc. as a recommendation spot, conversely, a parking lot where vehicles less than the threshold number of vehicles gather may be used as a recommended spot, or a parking lot having an average stay time less than a threshold may be used as a recommended spot. That is, the conditions for extracting as recommended spots may be varied depending on the type of facility information.

  Here, information on recommended spots is given as an example of the first road-related information. However, it is not recommended and may be information on points used for specific purposes regardless of the number of vehicles and average stay time. (The same applies to the second road related information).

  Moreover, although it called the point information here, it is good also as not only a point but the area information which has a predetermined area, and the area information from a certain point to a certain point.

  Next, a process of collecting and storing cloud worker information (cloud worker initial posting process) will be described. FIG. 5 is a flowchart of a processing routine showing a cloud worker initial posting process performed by the information providing apparatus 12. The cloud worker initial posting process may be performed at a predetermined timing or may be performed when a request is made from the information terminal device 16.

  In step S110, the cloud worker information collection unit 28 of the information providing device 12 receives the cloud worker information input by the first input means (here, the cloud worker information input unit 50 of the information terminal device 16) via the network 18. To collect.

  In step S112, the cloud worker information collection unit 28 assigns a position ID to the collected cloud worker information, and stores the position ID and the cloud worker information in association with each other. Further, the cloud worker information collection unit 28 uses the collected cloud worker information as terminal identification information for identifying the information terminal device 16 to which the cloud worker information is input or user identification information for identifying a user who uses the terminal. At the same time, it may be stored in the basic information DB 26.

  Cloud worker information of new contents is stored by the cloud worker initial posting process, and the stored cloud worker information is also treated as initial posting information in the same manner as the in-vehicle information, and is subject to evaluation feedback described later. .

  Here, an example of collecting cloud worker information will be described with reference to the drawings.

  FIGS. 10A and 10B show an example of cloud worker information input by the cloud worker information input unit 50 of the information terminal device 16.

  In this example, the cloud worker information input unit 50 includes a touch panel display and a camera, but only the touch panel display is illustrated in FIG.

The cloud worker uses the cloud worker information input unit 50 to input the following information as cloud worker information.
-Location information-Usefulness-Image information-Classification tag information-Comments

  The position information may be information indicating the position of a spot, information indicating a section, or information indicating a range (area). The usefulness is a subjectively determined usefulness by the cloud worker. For example, a numerical value within a predetermined range is input as the degree of danger, recommendation, or escapement according to the content of road-related information. The The photographed image information can be an image of a photographed image obtained by photographing the environment at the position indicated by the position information. The classification tag information is information indicating the content of the second road-related information such as “dangerous point, loophole, recommendation, other”, for example, and predetermined content is given to a plurality of tags, for example. By selecting one of the plurality of tags, the content of the second road related information is selected and input. A comment is a short brief critique or opinion of a cloud worker, entered as needed.

  Here, the position information, the classification tag information, and the usefulness are indispensable input information, but the captured image information and the comments are not essential information but are incidental information. Information other than the usefulness is second road related information.

  FIG. 10A shows a state where recommended parking information is input as the second road-related information by the cloud worker information input unit 50, and FIG. 10B shows the input of the cloud worker information. The part 50 shows a state in which the information on the exit path is input as the second road related information. 11A shows a state in which dangerous intersection information is input as the second road-related information by the cloud worker information input unit 50, and FIG. 11B shows the cloud worker information. A state where dangerous straight road information is input as the second road-related information by the input unit 50 is shown. 10 and 11, the usefulness is not shown.

  Here, for example, when the information on the dangerous point is given as an example of the cloud worker information, the usefulness level is considered as the dangerous level. If “risk level 8” is input by the cloud worker, the basic information DB 26 stores the risk information in the form shown in FIG. However, here, with respect to the risk level 8, a normalized score of 0.8 is stored as the risk level.

  In addition, when the first road related information and the second road related information having the same position information and content are present, they are stored in the basic information DB 26 in association with the same position ID so as to be associated with each other. You may do it. Here, when only usefulness differs in in-vehicle information and cloud worker information, the usefulness of the one stored (posted) first is treated as information included in the initial posted information, and the one stored later You may memorize | store so that it may be handled as an evaluation value of the evaluation feedback mentioned later. Also, only one of the predetermined usefulness levels may be stored, or only the higher usefulness level or the lower usefulness level may be stored. An average value of usefulness may be stored.

  After the in-vehicle information and the cloud worker information are stored as the initial posting information as described above, the information providing unit 34 evaluates the above-described evaluation target information so that the stored initial posting information is subjected to evaluation feedback. Is transmitted to the vehicle-mounted device 14 and the information terminal device 16. Further, after a certain number of evaluation values are accumulated, the information providing unit 34 transmits the provided information instead of the evaluation target information.

  Thereafter, as described later, an evaluation value is input from the evaluation value input unit 44 of the vehicle-mounted device 14 by the driver of the vehicle, and an evaluation value is input from the evaluation value input unit 54 by the user of the information terminal device 16, Each is transmitted to the information providing device 12. The transmitted evaluation value is received by the evaluation value calculation unit 30 of the information providing apparatus 12 (see also the flowchart of the evaluation value receiving process in FIG. 7).

  Thereafter, an evaluation value calculation process and an evaluation value reception process are performed as evaluation feedback for the initial posting information.

  FIG. 6 is a flowchart of a processing routine showing an evaluation value calculation process performed by the information providing apparatus 12.

  In step S200, the evaluation value calculation unit 30 of the information providing device 12 calculates an evaluation value for at least one of the first road-related information and the second road-related information stored in the basic information DB 26.

  In step S202, the evaluation value calculation unit 30 stores the calculated evaluation value in the basic information DB 26 in association with the corresponding position ID.

  For example, the evaluation value calculation unit 30 calculates a risk level as an evaluation value separately from the risk level associated with the first road-related information for the risk point stored as the first road-related information. .

  The risk value calculation method by the evaluation value calculation unit 30 is different from the calculation method by the in-vehicle information generation unit 24, and a calculation method with higher accuracy than the calculation method by the in-vehicle information generation unit 24 may be adopted. The degree of risk generated by the in-vehicle information generation unit 24 only needs to have a certain degree of accuracy as the initial posting information, and the evaluation value is calculated only for the point where the degree of risk is high as the initial posting information. The evaluation value may be calculated by the unit 30 with higher accuracy.

  For example, the evaluation value calculation unit 30 may use a plurality of types of vehicle travel information such as a travel state of the vehicle, an operation state when the driver operates the vehicle, or an environmental state indicating a travel environment around the vehicle in advance. The correspondence relationship between the vehicle travel information and the risk is learned and stored based on the learning data for each classification. When there are a plurality of vehicles, an average state in which the plurality of states are averaged may be used for the running state and the operation state of the vehicle. Then, based on the vehicle travel information acquired by the vehicle travel information acquisition unit 20 and the stored correspondence relationship, a corresponding risk level is obtained for each classification, and an overall risk level value is estimated. The risk level estimated with high accuracy in this way is stored in the basic information DB 26 as an evaluation value. To give a more specific example, for example, if the backward average acceleration detected at a certain point is large, it can be estimated that there are many vehicles that suddenly brake, and if the average steering amount is large, the point where the meandering is steep It can be estimated that. In this way, the risk level is obtained by using various vehicle travel information in combination, for example, by applying to a predetermined mathematical formula.

  Extract only points that are originally stored as high risk level in the initial post, and calculate the risk level with high accuracy as described above from the travel data (travel speed, etc.) related to that point. For example, the calculation cost is lower than in the case of calculating the risk level for all roads in Japan as described above, and calculation in a realistic time is possible.

  Moreover, the evaluation value calculation part 30 calculates an evaluation value similarly to the above, and memorize | stores it in basic information DB26 also about the danger point memorize | stored as 2nd road relevant information.

  When the in-vehicle information generation unit 24 estimates the risk level of the dangerous point with high accuracy in the same manner as the evaluation value calculation unit 30, the calculation of the evaluation value by the evaluation value calculation unit 30 of the dangerous point is omitted. May be.

  In addition, the evaluation value calculation unit 30 calculates the looping degree as an evaluation value for the initial posting information related to the looping of the second road-related information, as in the method of generating the looping degree by the in-vehicle information generation unit 24. Here, an objectively useful degree can be derived by calculating an evaluation value using objective information such as actual vehicle travel information for information manually input by a subjective judgment of loopholes. Here, it is assumed that the evaluation value calculation unit 30 does not calculate the degree of escape for the first road related information generated based on the vehicle travel information. This is because the derivation method is the same. However, when the in-vehicle information generation unit 24 and the derivation method are different, the escape rate may be calculated by the evaluation value calculation unit 30.

  In addition, the evaluation value calculation unit 30 calculates the recommendation level as the evaluation value for the initial posting information related to the recommended spot of the second road related information in the same manner as the recommendation level generation method by the in-vehicle information generation unit 24. Here, the degree of usefulness is derived more objectively by calculating the evaluation value using objective information such as actual vehicle driving information for information manually input by subjective judgment of recommendation level. it can. Here, it is assumed that the evaluation value calculation unit 30 does not calculate the recommendation level for the first road related information generated based on the vehicle travel information. This is because the derivation method is the same. However, when the in-vehicle information generation unit 24 and the derivation method are different, the recommendation level may be calculated by the evaluation value calculation unit 30.

  Here, an example has been described in which the evaluation value calculation unit 30 calculates an evaluation value for each of the degree of risk, the degree of passage, and the degree of recommendation. However, the usefulness (for example, safety degree) of road-related information other than this is calculated. If stored, the evaluation value of the road related information may be calculated. If one of these road related information is stored, the stored road related information is stored. What is necessary is just to calculate.

  FIG. 7 is a flowchart of a processing routine showing an evaluation value receiving process performed by the information providing apparatus 12.

  In step S210, the evaluation value receiving unit 32 of the information providing device 12 is input from the evaluation value input unit 54 of the information terminal device 16, is transmitted to the information providing device 12, and is stored in the basic information DB 26. And the evaluation value for at least one of the second road-related information, and the first road-related information and the second information that are input from the evaluation value input unit 44 of the vehicle-mounted device 14 and transmitted to the information providing device 12 and stored in the basic information DB 26. An evaluation value for at least one of the road related information is received.

  FIG. 13 shows a display example of the evaluation target information 58 displayed on the touch panel display, in which the information presentation unit 42 and the evaluation value input unit 44 of the vehicle-mounted device 14 are integrally configured by a touch panel display. The evaluation target information 58 includes road-related information 90 and buttons 92 and 94. In the example shown in FIG. 13, for road-related information “a parking lot that is relatively vacant even on holidays”, the vehicle driver can use the “good” button 92 if the presented information is useful. If not, pressing the “bad” button 94 enables immediate evaluation feedback on the information presented in the information presentation unit 42 of the vehicle-mounted device 14. Here, in the touch panel sensor constituting the touch panel display, the portion corresponding to the buttons 92 and 94 corresponds to the evaluation value input unit 44. Each button may be associated with an evaluation value. For example, if the evaluation value takes a value between -1 and 1, if "good" is pressed, 1 is transmitted as the evaluation value and -1 is transmitted as "bad". May be. Further, the evaluation values may be classified more finely so that, for example, about 10 evaluation values can be input. The input evaluation value is transmitted to the information providing apparatus 12 together with the position ID.

  Further, the evaluation value input unit 54 has a function such as voice recognition, and the driver of the vehicle may input the evaluation value by voice. With such a configuration, as shown in FIG. 15, an evaluation with a comment can be performed by voice recognition. The comment is transmitted to the information providing apparatus 12 together with the position ID and the evaluation value.

  FIG. 14 shows a specific example of an evaluation value input from the evaluation value input unit 54 of the information terminal device 16 with respect to the evaluation object information or the presentation information displayed on the information presentation unit 52 of the information terminal device 16. The example shown in FIG. 14 is an evaluation of the information on the dangerous point as the initial post information shown in FIG. 12, and is evaluated by a comment, a degree of danger (for example, a numerical value of -10 to 10), and the like. This risk level corresponds to an “evaluation value”, and a result determined by the subjectivity of the operator of the information terminal device 16 is input. When the comment is input together with the risk level, the comment is also transmitted to the information providing apparatus 12 along with the risk level.

  In addition, although the example which inputs a numerical value as an evaluation value was demonstrated here, it may not be a numerical value. For example, a plurality of evaluation levels may be presented by characters such as “not very dangerous”, “slightly dangerous”, “dangerous”, “very dangerous”, etc., and may be selected by the operator. An evaluation value may be associated with each of the plurality of evaluation levels in advance, and the evaluation value input unit 54 may be configured so that an evaluation value corresponding to the selection result is transmitted to the information providing apparatus 12. Alternatively, the selection result itself is transmitted to the information providing apparatus 12 as an evaluation value, and the evaluation value receiving unit 32 of the information providing apparatus 12 replaces the selection result with an evaluation value represented by a numerical value and stores it in the basic information DB 26. You may do it.

  In step S212, the evaluation value receiving unit 32 stores the received evaluation value in the storage area of the basic information DB 26 corresponding to the corresponding position ID. When the evaluation value reception unit 32 receives accompanying information such as a comment together with the evaluation value, the evaluation value receiving unit 32 also stores the accompanying information in association with each other.

  In addition, when a plurality of people send evaluation values and comments to the same information among the presented first road-related information and second road-related information, as shown in FIGS. The value receiving unit 32 stores and manages the evaluation value and comment of the same position ID in the basic information DB 26.

  Hereinafter, the evaluation value calculated by the evaluation value calculation unit 30 is referred to as “evaluation value for in-vehicle automatic evaluation”, and the evaluation value received from the in-vehicle device 14 by the evaluation value reception unit 32 is referred to as “evaluation value for in-vehicle manual evaluation”. The evaluation value received from the information terminal device 16 by the evaluation value receiving unit 32 will be referred to as “evaluation value for Web human evaluation”. Hereinafter, each of the evaluation value input in the evaluation feedback and evaluation data other than the evaluation value (evaluation comment or the like) is referred to as evaluation information.

  By the way, the driver of the vehicle generates vehicle travel information that is the basis of the in-vehicle information indirectly by driving the vehicle and transmits (posts) it to the information providing device 12 or transmits (posts) evaluation information. Since the operator of the information terminal device 16 is a person who inputs cloud worker information and transmits (initial posting) to the information providing device 12 or transmits (posts) evaluation information, The driver of the vehicle and the operator of the information terminal device 16 may be referred to as a contributor. In this case, with respect to the in-vehicle information generated by the in-vehicle information generation unit 24, the driver of the vehicle from which the vehicle traveling information acquired by the vehicle traveling information acquisition unit 20 is detected is treated as the poster.

  FIG. 16A shows a storage example of the basic information DB 26. In FIG. 16A, a risk level and a comment for the road-related information of the position ID “000351” classified as the dangerous spot are stored. Note that illustration of other road-related information such as position information and captured images is omitted here. As shown in FIG. 16A, the evaluation information of the posters A to D is additionally stored for the initial posting of the poster P1, as shown in FIG. 16A. Further, evaluation information automatically calculated by the evaluation value calculation unit 30 (see also the in-vehicle automatic evaluation column in FIG. 16A) is also stored.

  As shown in FIG. 16A, each of the initial posting information and the evaluation information for the same classification (contents) and the same point is managed in association with the same position ID.

  The information providing unit 34 of the information providing apparatus 12 is equal to or greater than the threshold at a predetermined timing (for example, when a new evaluation value is received by the evaluation value receiving unit 32, or a predetermined time has arrived). For road-related information in which numerical evaluation values are stored, the usefulness after evaluation is calculated using at least one of the usefulness and the evaluation value illustrated in FIG.

  Here, an information providing process performed by the information providing unit 34 of the information providing apparatus 12 will be described. FIG. 8 is a flowchart of a processing routine showing the information provision setting process. The information provision setting process is performed by the information provision apparatus 12 at the predetermined timing.

  In step S300, the information providing unit 34 of the information providing apparatus 12 extracts one position ID stored in the basic information DB 26.

  In step S302, the information providing unit 34 determines whether the number of evaluation values associated with the extracted position ID is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold. If the information providing unit 34 makes a negative determination in step S302, it sets so that the road-related information of the extracted position ID is presented as evaluation target information in step S304, and the process proceeds to step S312.

  On the other hand, when an affirmative determination is made in step S302, the information providing unit 34 calculates “usefulness after evaluation” of the road-related information of the extracted position ID in step S306. For example, in the example shown in FIG. 16A, the usefulness of the initial posting information, the evaluation value of the web manual evaluation, the evaluation value of the in-vehicle manual evaluation, and the evaluation value of the in-vehicle automatic evaluation are stored in association with the position ID. However, the usefulness after evaluation is calculated based on at least one of these values.

  For example, the usefulness after the evaluation may be the average value of the usefulness of the initial posting information, the evaluation value of the Web human evaluation, the evaluation value of the in-vehicle manual evaluation, and the evaluation value of the in-vehicle automatic evaluation. In this case, in the example shown in FIG. 16A, the second decimal place of (0.8-0.3 + 0.7 + 1-1 + 0.5) / 6 is rounded off to 0.3.

  If the usefulness of the initial posting information is known in advance, such as when there is a lot of noise, the average value of the evaluation values excluding the usefulness of the initial posting information may be calculated as the usefulness after evaluation. good. Furthermore, not all of the evaluation values for Web human evaluation, the evaluation values for in-vehicle manual evaluation, and the evaluation values for in-vehicle automatic evaluation are all stored. For example, Web manual evaluation information may not be collected from the evaluation value of Web human evaluation, the evaluation value of in-vehicle human evaluation, and the evaluation value of in-vehicle automatic evaluation. In such a case, the usefulness after evaluation may be calculated using only the stored evaluation value (or the stored evaluation value and the usefulness of the initial posting information).

  In step S308, the information providing unit 34 determines whether or not the calculated usefulness after evaluation is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold. The threshold used here may be set in advance according to the content of the road related information. If the information providing unit 34 makes an affirmative determination in step S308, in step S310, the information providing unit 34 sets the road-related information of the extracted position ID to be presented as providing information, and the process proceeds to step S312. If the information providing unit 34 makes a negative determination in step S308, the process proceeds to step S312 without performing the process of step S310 (that is, without changing the setting as the evaluation target information).

  In step S312, the information providing unit 34 determines whether or not the processing for all position IDs has been completed. If the information providing unit 34 makes a negative determination in step S312, the information providing unit 34 returns to step S300, extracts an unprocessed position ID, and performs the same processing as described above. If the information providing unit 34 makes a positive determination in step S312, the information providing unit 34 ends this processing routine.

  The road related information set as the provision information as described above is transmitted to the vehicle-mounted device 14 and the information terminal device 16 by the information provision unit 34. As a result, road-related information is presented by the information presentation unit 42 of the vehicle-mounted device 14, and road-related information is presented by the information presentation unit 52 of the information terminal device 16. Moreover, the information provision part 34 adjusts the timing which transmits provision information, and the content to show according to the stored road relevant information.

  For example, with respect to road-related information stored as a dangerous point, timing adjustment is performed such as providing a point in front of the dangerous point by a predetermined distance when the vehicle passes. The presentation content may present the information of the dangerous point itself, such as “This is a dangerous point in the future ○ m”. Moreover, you may make it show the comment corresponding to the usefulness (or evaluation value) nearest to the calculated usefulness among the comments memorize | stored matched with position ID. It can also be used for selecting information to be presented in destination setting of a navigation system mounted on a vehicle, such as selecting a route so as not to pass through the danger point. Thereby, provision information is indirectly provided. In addition, the volume of music is reduced in the vicinity of the dangerous point, the route guidance is not announced in the vicinity of the dangerous point (the route guidance is announced in a safe area ○ m away from the dangerous point), etc. It can also be used to control the presentation method and timing when presenting information other than the dangerous point information.

  In addition, for road-related information such as loopholes and recommended spots, it is used to select route information to be presented in the destination setting of the navigation system, such as presenting the information itself or selecting a route to pass through the recommended spot. You can also

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, the in-vehicle information and the cloud worker information are used as the initial posting information, and the provision information is selected and provided while performing the evaluation feedback on the initial posting information. Useful road-related information can be provided to the user.

  In the above example, the example in which the evaluation value for in-vehicle automatic evaluation is calculated using the average of a plurality of vehicles has been described. However, as shown in FIG. Also good.

  First, when a poster's vehicle passes a point indicated by position information included in the initial posting information stored in the basic information DB 26, the vehicle running information at the time of passing is transmitted to the information providing device 12 The evaluation value input unit 54 of the device 14 is configured. Note that the position information included in the initial posting information can be acquired and stored when the vehicle-mounted device 14 receives the evaluation target information.

  The transmitted vehicle travel information may be stored in the vehicle travel information DB 22 or may be stored in the basic information DB 26 together with the position ID. The evaluation value calculation unit 30 obtains an evaluation value for in-vehicle automatic evaluation from the transmitted vehicle travel information. Specifically, for example, the evaluation value calculation unit 30 determines in advance the driving state of the vehicle driven by the driver who is the poster, the operating state when the driver operates the vehicle, or the driving environment around the vehicle. The vehicle traveling information such as the environmental state indicating the above is classified into a plurality of types, and the correspondence relationship between the vehicle traveling information and the degree of risk is learned and stored for each classification based on the learning data. Learning data is stored for each contributor. Then, based on the poster's vehicle travel information detected when the poster's vehicle has passed the point indicated by the position information included in the initial post information and acquired by the vehicle travel information acquisition unit 20, and the stored correspondence relationship. For each classification, the corresponding risk level is obtained, and the overall risk level is estimated.

  As described above, when the evaluation value for in-vehicle automatic evaluation is obtained for each vehicle as described above, the provision information can be selected by obtaining an average value with other evaluation values and usefulness.

  [Second Embodiment]

  2nd Embodiment demonstrates the example which calculates | requires the poster's creditworthiness and calculates | requires the usefulness after evaluation using this creditworthiness as a weighting. FIG. 17 shows the configuration of the information providing system 80 of the second embodiment. The information providing system 80 according to the second embodiment includes an information providing device 70, at least one on-vehicle device 14, and at least one information terminal device 16. The information providing device 70, the vehicle-mounted device 14, and the information terminal device 16 are connected via the network 18, but are not shown here. Since the configurations of the vehicle-mounted device 14 and the information terminal device 16 are the same as those in the first embodiment, description thereof will be omitted.

  In addition to the configuration of the information providing apparatus 12 of the first embodiment, the information providing apparatus 70 of the present embodiment includes a reliability calculation unit 36. The reliability calculation unit 36 calculates the poster's reliability from the information stored in the basic information DB 26. The calculated reliability is stored in the basic information DB 26.

  Here, the poster's creditworthiness refers to the trustworthiness of the poster, to what extent the initial posted information and evaluation information posted by the poster can be trusted.

  For example, the credit rating is calculated as follows. For a certain point, the difference between the usefulness or evaluation value posted by the contributor A in the past and the (latest) evaluation usefulness for the same position ID as the usefulness and evaluation value is obtained, and the difference is large. The lower the credit rating. The same process is performed for other points as well, and the average value of the creditworthiness at a plurality of points obtained for the poster A is calculated as the creditworthiness of the poster A. For other contributors, the credit rating is calculated in the same manner. The reliability is calculated at a predetermined timing (when a predetermined time elapses, when a system administrator inputs a calculation command, when a predetermined time arrives, etc.). Therefore, the usefulness and the evaluation value posted before the timing are used for calculating the reliability. As described above, the calculation of credit is not performed once, but is performed many times. Therefore, there is a possibility that the credit may change according to initial posted information and evaluation information posted over time. Therefore, when using the creditworthiness as a weight, the latest creditworthiness is used.

  In addition, although it is the calculation timing of creditworthiness, for example, when calculating the creditworthiness related to the poster A, if the posting amount of the poster A is too small, a highly accurate creditworthiness cannot be calculated. The reliability of the poster A may not be calculated until the predetermined threshold value is exceeded.

  Furthermore, since the amount of contributions by the contributor A is less than a predetermined threshold, it is not known how much the contributor A's usefulness and evaluation value should be believed (because the reliability cannot be calculated with high accuracy), the contributor The initial posting information and evaluation information of A may not be used, or the reliability of the poster A may be set to a minimum value or a reference value.

  FIG. 18 shows an example of a list of poster reliability for a certain position ID. The contributor P1 is a contributor of initial post information, and A to F are contributors of evaluation values. The author A has the highest credit rating. Conversely, the reliability of the posters P1 and F is the lowest.

If initial post information and evaluation information are stored for position ID 000351 as shown in FIG. 16B, weighting is performed using the reliability shown in FIG. 18 as a weighting coefficient, and the usefulness after evaluation (Risk after evaluation here)
Risk level after evaluation = average risk level using each poster's credit rating as a weight
= {(0.8 * 0.6) + (-0.3 * 0.98) + (0.7 * 0.99) + (1 * 0.89) + (-1 * 0.89) + (0.6 * 0.78) + (0.7 * 0.6)} / 7
= 0.25
It becomes.

In addition, when only the risk level of a poster having a credit rating of 0.7 or higher is used, only the evaluation values of the posters A, B, C, D, and E are used for calculating the usefulness after the evaluation as shown below. Used.
Risk after evaluation
= Average value of weights of posters with a credit rating of 0.7 or higher weighted by credit rating
= {(-0.3 * 0.98) + (0.7 * 0.99) + (1 * 0.89) + (-1 * 0.89) + (0.6 * 0.78)} / 5
= 0.17

In addition, as a comparative example, when calculating the risk after evaluation without using creditworthiness,
Risk after evaluation = average risk of each contributor
= (0.8-0.3 + 0.7 + 1-0.6 + 0.7) / 7
= 0.36
It becomes.

  As described above, various methods can be adopted as a method for calculating the usefulness after evaluation, but the calculation method of the information providing unit 34 is set in advance. Therefore, in the second embodiment, the information providing unit 34 calculates usefulness after evaluation by the set calculation method, and selects provided information based on the calculated usefulness after evaluation. provide. In addition, the system administrator or the like may be configured to change the calculation method of the usefulness after evaluation in the information providing unit 34.

  Further, in the in-vehicle initial posting process and the cloud worker initial posting process, if the usefulness weighted using the reliability is lower than a predetermined threshold value, the initial posting information may not be stored.

  FIG. 19 is a flowchart of a processing routine showing the in-vehicle initial posting process according to the second embodiment.

  In step S <b> 400, the vehicle travel information acquisition unit 20 of the information providing device 12 acquires vehicle travel information from the vehicle-mounted device 14 mounted on the vehicle via the network 18.

  In step S402, the vehicle travel information acquisition unit 20 stores the acquired vehicle travel information in the vehicle travel information DB 22 in association with identification information for identifying the vehicle (or the driver driving the vehicle).

  In step S <b> 404, the in-vehicle information generation unit 24 of the information providing device 12 generates in-vehicle information based on the vehicle travel information stored in the vehicle travel information DB 22.

  In step S406, the in-vehicle information generation unit 24 weights the usefulness of the generated in-vehicle information using the reliability of the driver (poster) driving the vehicle as a weighting coefficient (useful considering the reliability). (Referred to as degrees). Specifically, a value obtained by multiplying the usefulness by the creditworthiness is calculated as the usefulness considering the creditworthiness.

  In step S <b> 408, the in-vehicle information generation unit 24 determines whether or not the usefulness considering the reliability is equal to or higher than a predetermined threshold. When an affirmative determination is made in step S408, the in-vehicle information generation unit 24 assigns a position ID to the generated in-vehicle information and stores it in the basic information DB 26 in step S410. On the other hand, if the in-vehicle information generation unit 24 makes a negative determination in step S408, the process routine ends without performing the process of step S410.

  The credit used in step S406 may be the vehicle allowable credit or the initial post credit described later.

  FIG. 20 is a flowchart of a processing routine showing the cloud worker initial posting processing according to the second embodiment.

  In step S420, the cloud worker information collection unit 28 of the information providing device 12 receives the cloud worker information input by the first input means (here, the cloud worker information input unit 50 of the information terminal device 16) via the network 18. To get.

  In step S422, the cloud worker information collection unit 28 calculates a value obtained by weighting the usefulness included in the acquired cloud worker information by using the poster's creditworthiness as a weighting coefficient (usefulness considering the trustworthiness). To do. The calculation method of the usefulness in consideration of the creditworthiness is the same as the calculation method in the in-vehicle initial posting process. Note that the trustworthiness used in step S422 may be the creditworthiness of the initial posting of the poster to be described later.

  In step S424, the cloud worker information collection unit 28 determines whether or not the usefulness considering the reliability is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold. If an affirmative determination is made in step S424, the cloud worker information collection unit 28 assigns a location ID to the cloud worker information and stores it in the basic information DB 26 in step S426. On the other hand, if the cloud worker information collection unit 28 makes a negative determination in step S424, the process routine ends without performing the process of step S426.

  In this way, avoiding initial postings from posters with low creditworthiness or posting spam posts by determining whether or not to store initial posting information based on usefulness considering the impact of creditworthiness Can do.

  In addition, although the example which calculates | requires creditworthiness for every contributor was demonstrated above, you may obtain | require the creditworthiness about each of an initial contribution, Web manual evaluation, vehicle-mounted manual evaluation, and vehicle-mounted automatic evaluation for every contributor.

  Specifically, first, the difference between the usefulness or evaluation value posted by the contributor A in the past and the (latest) evaluation usefulness for the same position ID as the usefulness or evaluation value is obtained. Depending on the difference, the degree of credit is calculated for each posted usefulness and evaluation value (the greater the difference, the lower the credit). And each of the calculated | required reliability is classify | categorized into an initial contribution, Web person evaluation, vehicle-mounted person evaluation, and vehicle-mounted automatic evaluation, and an average value is calculated | required for every classification. The average value for each classification is the reliability for each of the initial posting, Web human evaluation, in-vehicle human evaluation, and in-vehicle automatic evaluation for each contributor.

  By the way, when using the hazard level as the usefulness level for the information on the dangerous point, the driver will drive according to the risk level based on the calculated hazard level and the individual vehicle behavior. It is also possible to calculate the degree of usefulness (vehicle behavior reliability) and calculate the usefulness after evaluation using each of the initial posting, Web manual evaluation, in-vehicle manual evaluation, and in-vehicle automatic evaluation. Good. Moreover, you may calculate the usefulness after evaluation using the vehicle behavior reliability instead of the reliability of in-vehicle automatic evaluation.

  Here, a method for calculating the vehicle behavior reliability will be described.

  First, in the present embodiment, when a poster's vehicle passes a point indicated by position information included in the initial posting information stored in the basic information DB 26, vehicle travel information at the time of passing is transmitted to the information providing device 12. As described above, the evaluation value input unit 54 of the vehicle-mounted device 14 is configured. The position information included in the initial posting information can be acquired and stored when the vehicle-mounted device 14 receives the evaluation target information.

  And if the vehicle travel information acquisition part 20 of the information provision apparatus 12 receives this vehicle travel information from the onboard equipment 14, it will be matched with position ID in basic information DB26 for every contributor (driver of a vehicle). The vehicle behavior information included in the acquired vehicle travel information is stored. FIG. 21 shows an example of the storage state of road-related information. In the present embodiment, the vehicle behavior information is information indicating the average acceleration and average speed for each vehicle detected at the point indicated by the position information corresponding to the position ID. However, it is not limited to these. In the example shown in FIG. 21, the average speed 20 km / h of the poster E and the average acceleration −0.05 G are stored as the vehicle behavior information, and the average speed 40 km / h of the poster F and the average acceleration −0.35 G are stored. Are stored as vehicle behavior information. In addition, although vehicle behavior information memorize | stored in basic information DB26 may be memorize | stored in vehicle running information DB22 as vehicle running information, it matched and memorize | stored in basic information DB26 here with position ID.

  Then, when the timing for calculating the creditworthiness arrives, the creditworthiness calculation unit 36 calculates the creditworthiness of the initial posting, the Web manual evaluation, the in-vehicle manual evaluation, and the in-vehicle automatic evaluation. The calculation method is as described above. Further, the reliability calculation unit 36 calculates the allowable vehicle reliability from the vehicle behavior information stored in the basic information DB 26. Specifically, when the road-related information that the point indicated by the position information of the position ID 000351 (hereinafter referred to as the point 000351) is a dangerous point is stored in the basic information DB 26, the point 000351 is As the average acceleration in the backward direction indicated by the vehicle travel information as the travel history of Mr. A who travels is larger and the average speed is slower, Mr. A has stepped on the brake and decreased the speed to travel at the danger point. Can be estimated. That is, it can be estimated that appropriate driving is performed corresponding to the dangerous point. Therefore, here, from the calculation formula corresponding to the combination of the average speed and the average acceleration indicated by the vehicle behavior information of Mr. A, or the matrix table in which the reliability is registered according to the combination of the average speed and the average acceleration, the allowable vehicle reliability Ask for. And the credit calculation part 36 calculates | requires Mr. A's vehicle allowable reliability similarly about another point, and uses basic value DB26 for the average value of the vehicle allowable credit calculated | required in each point as final vehicle allowable credit of A. To remember. In addition, although the example which calculates | requires vehicle allowable reliability using average speed and average acceleration as vehicle behavior information was demonstrated here, you may calculate | require vehicle allowable reliability using either one of average acceleration and average speed.

  Here, the allowable vehicle reliability is calculated based on the vehicle behavior information at the dangerous point, but the allowable vehicle reliability may be calculated based on the vehicle behavior information at the safe point. For example, there is a calculation method such as lowering the vehicle allowable reliability of a driver of a vehicle having a large number of times of sudden braking at a safety point.

  Since the reliability of the evaluation value of Mr. A's in-vehicle automatic evaluation increases as the vehicle allowable reliability increases, the reliability of the in-vehicle automatic evaluation is compared with the reliability of the in-vehicle automatic evaluation, or instead of the reliability of the in-vehicle automatic evaluation, Vehicle allowable credit can be used for weighting. Specifically, the evaluation value of the in-vehicle automatic evaluation is multiplied by the vehicle allowable reliability.

  FIG. 22 shows the calculation result of each credit rating for each contributor.

  Here, when the posting format shown in FIG. 21 is compared with the creditworthiness shown in FIG. 22, the creditworthiness to be used is the hatched creditworthiness of FIG. Therefore, the information providing unit 34 can calculate the risk after evaluation by multiplying the risk corresponding to each poster by the hatched credit. As another variation, for each contributor, the evaluation value calculation unit 30 replaces the reliability of the initial posting, the reliability of the Web human evaluation, the reliability of the in-vehicle human evaluation, the reliability of the in-vehicle automatic evaluation (instead of the reliability of the in-vehicle automatic evaluation). Or the credit tolerance of the vehicle-mounted automatic evaluation may be used together with the individual creditworthiness, etc., and the post-evaluation risk by further using the creditworthiness of each poster (referred to as the overall creditworthiness) illustrated in FIG. Can be calculated.

For example, when the risk level after evaluation is calculated using only the risk level of a poster having a total credit rating of 0.7 or more and using the individual credit level as a weighting coefficient, the risk level is calculated as follows.
Risk after evaluation = {(-0.3 * 0.98) + (0.7 * 0.99) + (1 * 0.98) + (-1 * 0.98)} / 4 = 0.1

  Thus, for example, even if the reliability of Web human evaluation is high, a poster who has a lot of sudden braking and has low reliability of on-vehicle automatic evaluation or vehicle allowable reliability based on vehicle travel information from the vehicle-mounted device 14, or conversely, Even if the creditworthiness is low, it is possible to set the creditworthiness according to the behavior, such as a contributor who is suitable for driving and has a high allowable vehicle creditworthiness, and the risk after evaluation can be calculated in detail.

  In the above, the example of obtaining the risk as the evaluation value of the in-vehicle automatic evaluation for each vehicle and obtaining the vehicle allowable reliability is described by taking the risk of the dangerous point as an example. It is possible to obtain the degree of passage and the allowable vehicle reliability every time.

  For example, the evaluation value calculation unit 30 uses (average speed, distance of the route A) as vehicle travel information when the vehicle F travels on the route A, and (average speed as vehicle travel information when travels on the route B). And the distance of the route B), the degree of escape of the vehicle of the poster F is obtained.

  FIG. 23 shows a graph when the average arrival time is calculated for each of the route A and the route B from the average speed and the distance of the route. In FIG. 23, the vertical axis represents “average arrival time when traveling along route A”, and the horizontal axis of FIG. 23 represents “average arrival time when traveling along route B”. Hereinafter, each line on the graph will be described.

1) When the average arrival time is plotted on the solid line 3, it indicates that there is no difference in the average arrival time between the route A and the route B, so neither the route A nor the route B is a loophole.
2) When the average arrival time is plotted between the broken line 2 and the solid line 3, it indicates that the average arrival time is shorter in the route B than in the route A. Therefore, although the route B is a loophole, the route B The degree of loophole is low.
3) When the average arrival time is plotted between the broken line 1 and the broken line 2, it indicates that the average arrival time is shorter for the route B than for the route A than for the case of 2). It is an escape route, and the escape rate of route B is medium.
4) When the average arrival time is plotted between the vertical axis and the broken line 1, the route B is shorter than the route A than in the case of 3). This is an escape route, and the escape rate of route B is large.
5) When the average arrival time is plotted between the broken line 4 and the solid line 3, it indicates that the average arrival time is shorter in the route A than in the route B, so the route A is a loophole, but the route A The degree of loophole is low.
6) When the average arrival time is plotted between the broken line 4 and the broken line 5, it indicates that the average arrival time is shorter for the route A than for the route B than for the case of 5). It is an escape route, and the escape rate of route A is medium.
7) When the average arrival time is plotted between the horizontal axis and the broken line 5, it indicates that the average arrival time is shorter in the route A than in the case of 6) compared to the route B. This is an escape route, and the escape rate of route A is large.

In addition, the middle, middle, and small degree of loop-out may be quantified as follows.
・ High escape rate = 90%
・ Medium escape rate = 75% escape route
-Small escape rate = 60% escape route

  Further, the reliability calculation unit 36 can also determine the “vehicle behavior reliability” by limiting the area for each vehicle. FIG. 24 is a diagram illustrating a traveling area of the vehicle of the poster C.

a) A portion A1 expressed by the darkest halftone dot represents an area where the vehicle of the poster C frequently travels.
b) A portion A2 expressed by a halftone dot thinner than A1 represents an area where the poster C's vehicle travels relatively well.
c) A portion A3 expressed by a halftone dot thinner than A2 represents an area where the vehicle of the contributor C sometimes travels.
d) A portion A4 in which the halftone dot expression outside A3 is not represented represents an area where the poster C's vehicle hardly travels.

  Thus, the traveling frequency decreases from A1 to A4. And vehicle behavior reliability is provided with respect to each area.

  The values of the allowable vehicle reliability are, for example, a) 90%, b) 70%, c) 60%, and d) 50%. That is, in this example, the information on the area where the vehicle passes is used as the vehicle travel information for deriving the vehicle allowable reliability.

  Here, a case is considered in which the road shown in FIG. 25 is stored in the basic information DB 26 as “pathway”. When the section shown in FIG. 25 is compared with each area in FIG. 24, the reliability of the vehicle behavior of the contributor C is 90%. Similarly, the vehicle behavior reliability is obtained for other vehicles. Assume that the result shown in FIG. 22 is obtained.

  Using this result, when using only the data of a vehicle with a vehicle behavior reliability of 70% or more to obtain the loop-out degree as “usefulness after evaluation”, only the loop-out degrees of the poster P1 and the poster C are used. For example, it is obtained by a method such as calculating an average value.

  By evaluating using only the data of a vehicle that frequently travels in a certain area in this way, it is possible to evaluate the degree of escape without adding unaccustomed vehicle travel data to the location.

  A specific example of evaluation feedback for a recommended spot includes a method of calculating a recommendation level based on at least one of the number of vehicles gathered per unit time and an average stay time. Furthermore, for other road-related information, for example, a road safety level estimated to be safe, for example, an evaluation value is input for each vehicle, or based on an average speed or average acceleration (the average speed is fast). The reliability of the vehicle behavior can be obtained in a direction opposite to the degree of risk, such as the higher the reliability, the vehicle behavior reliability can be obtained, and these can be used to calculate the evaluation value after evaluation.
