Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to an information processing system, an information processing program, and an information processing method. [Background technology]

[0002] The Bicycle Promotion Act was enacted in May 2017 with the aim of promoting bicycle use in a comprehensive and planned manner. This act sets out basic policies such as the development of bicycle lanes, raising awareness of rules, and use for tourism, and stipulates that a bicycle promotion plan must be established in accordance with these policies.

[0003] The Bicycle Promotion Plan is a basic national plan enacted to comprehensively and systematically promote bicycle use. The second plan, approved by the Cabinet in May 2021, sets out basic guidelines for efficient, safe and secure urban planning and tourism brought about by bicycle traffic. The Bicycle Promotion Act places the Bicycle Promotion Plan at the top, and stipulates that each city is required to make an effort to establish a local version of its own bicycle promotion plan.

[0004] In connection with bicycle promotion plans, each city needs to evaluate the current state of bicycle traffic when planning new bicycle lane construction or evaluating existing routes. However, in the past, in order to evaluate the current state of bicycle traffic, it was necessary to conduct a traffic volume survey each time, and traffic volume surveys were limited to evaluations at specific locations and specific times, making it difficult to evaluate with continuity in mind.

[0005] In addition, in the past, there was a problem in that it was not possible to evaluate the impact of other means of transportation on bicycles (for example, the impact of large vehicles) or the impact of bicycles on other means of transportation (for example, the impact on pedestrians).

[0006] Patent Document 1 proposes a technology that analyzes vehicle driving conditions around intersections based on vehicle probe information and intersection information including traffic lights, and displays the results. However, because this technology analyzes probe information for one means of transportation (particularly automobiles), it cannot evaluate the impact of the driving conditions of one means of transportation on the driving conditions of other means of transportation, or the impact of the driving conditions of other means of transportation on the driving conditions of other means of transportation.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0012] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In each drawing, components having equivalent functions are denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed description of the components having the same reference numerals will not be repeated.

[0013] (Configuration of Information Processing System) 1 is a diagram showing a schematic configuration of an information processing system 1 according to an embodiment. In the diagram, each functional unit performing each function can be said to be a means for performing each function.

[0014] As shown in Fig. 1, the information processing system 1 includes a terminal device 2 and a server 3. The terminal device 2 and the server 3 are connected to each other so as to be able to communicate with each other via a network 4 such as the Internet. The network 4 may be either a wired line or a wireless line, and the type and form of the line are not important. At least a part of the terminal device 2 and the server 3 are realized by a computer.

[0015] First, we will explain the terminal device 2. The terminal device 2 is used by a user (for example, a person in charge of formulating or revising a local bicycle utilization promotion plan in each local government), and is, for example, an electronic device such as a mobile terminal such as a smartphone or a tablet terminal, a notebook computer, or a desktop computer.

[0016] 1, the terminal device 2 includes a terminal communication unit 21, a terminal control unit 22, a terminal storage unit 23, a terminal input unit 24, and a terminal display unit 25. The units 21 to 25 are connected to each other so as to be able to communicate with each other.

[0017] The terminal communication unit 21 is a communication interface between the terminal device 2 and the network 4. The terminal communication unit 21 transmits and receives information between the terminal device 2 and the server 3 via the network 4.

[0018] The terminal control unit 22 is a control means that performs various processes of the terminal device 2. The terminal control unit 22 may be realized by a processor in the terminal device 2 executing a predetermined program, or may be implemented in hardware.

[0019] The terminal storage unit 23 is a data storage such as an internal memory or an external memory (such as an SD memory card). Various data handled by the terminal control unit 22 is stored in the terminal storage unit 23. The terminal storage unit 23 does not necessarily have to be provided in the terminal device 2, and a part or the whole of the terminal storage unit 23 may be provided in another device communicatively connected to the terminal device 2 via the network 4.

[0020] The terminal input unit 24 is an interface for a user to input information to the terminal device 2, and is, for example, a touch panel or microphone in a mobile terminal, or a touch pad, keyboard, or mouse in a notebook computer.

[0021] The terminal display unit 25 is an interface that outputs various information from the terminal device 2 to the user, and is, for example, a video display means such as a liquid crystal display. Specifically, for example, the terminal output unit 25 may display a GUI (Graphical User Interface) for receiving operations from the user.

[0022] Next, a description will be given of the server 3. As shown in Fig. 1, the server 3 has a server communication unit 31, a server control unit 32, and a server storage unit 33. The units 31 to 33 are connected to each other so as to be able to communicate with each other.

[0023] Of these, the server communication unit 31 is a communication interface between the server 3 and the network 4. The server communication unit 31 transmits and receives information between the server 3 and the terminal device 2 via the network 4.

[0024] The server storage unit 33 is, for example, a fixed data storage such as a hard disk. The server storage unit 33 stores various data handled by the server control unit 32. For example, the server storage unit 33 includes a route network information database 33a including traffic network information, a map information database 33b including map information, a travel data storage unit 33c, and a display condition storage unit 33d.

[0025] Transportation network information is information that specifies transportation networks such as railroads and buses, and road networks. Transportation network information includes transportation route information, timetable information, fare information, etc. Road network information is expressed by a combination of data on nodes, which are nodes on the road network representation such as intersections, and data on links, which are road sections between the nodes.

[0026] The map information includes map data such as national and regional road maps, and map object information associated with the map data. The map object information includes shape information about the shapes of facilities displayed on the map, note information about notes displayed on the map, symbol information about symbols displayed on the map, etc. The map information may also include route map information about public transportation route maps.

[0027] The above traffic network information and map information may be updated at a predetermined timing.

[0028] The travel data storage unit 33c stores travel data (probe data) of a plurality of means of transportation (for example, trucks, ordinary cars, motorcycles, bicycles, pedestrians, route buses, and specific small motorized bicycles (so-called electric kickboards, etc.)) together with the type of means of transportation. For example, the travel data storage unit 33c may store positioning data (for example, GPS data) acquired from a mobile terminal or an in-vehicle terminal that starts a navigation app for automobiles to display a map screen or use a route guidance function (or uses a general navigation app for automobiles to use a route guidance function) as the travel data of a "ordinary car." The travel data storage unit 33c may also store positioning data (for example, GPS data) acquired from a mobile terminal or an in-vehicle terminal that starts a navigation app for trucks to display a map screen or use a route guidance function (or uses a general navigation app for trucks to use a route guidance function) as the travel data of a "truck." The travel data storage unit 33c may store positioning data (e.g., GPS data) acquired from a mobile terminal that starts a motorcycle navigation app to display a map screen or use a route guidance function (or uses a motorcycle route guidance function in a general navigation app) as the travel data of a "motorcycle." The travel data storage unit 33c may store positioning data (e.g., GPS data) acquired from a mobile terminal that starts a bicycle navigation app to display a map screen or use a route guidance function (or uses a bicycle route guidance function in a general navigation app) as the travel data of a "bicycle." The travel data storage unit 33c may store positioning data (e.g., GPS data) acquired from a mobile terminal that starts a bicycle navigation app to display a map screen or use a route guidance function (or uses a pedestrian route guidance function in a general navigation app) as the travel data of a "pedestrian."The travel data storage unit 33c may store the positioning data (e.g., GPS data) acquired from the on-board terminal of the route bus as the travel data of the "route bus," and may store the positioning data (e.g., GPS data) acquired from the on-board terminal of the specific small motor bicycle as the travel data of the "specific small motor bicycle." Alternatively, for example, the travel data storage unit 33c may estimate (determine) the type of transportation from information indicated by the travel data (the route traveled (road type), travel speed, etc.) (not only from the app or route selected by the user) and store it.

[0029] When a type of one transportation means includes multiple attributes, the travel data storage unit 33c may store the travel data of the transportation means together with the type and attributes of the transportation means. For example, when the attributes of a pedestrian (for example, elementary school student to junior high school student, high school student, elderly person, etc.) are set in advance in a navigation application and information on the attributes of the pedestrian can be acquired from a mobile terminal moving with the pedestrian along with positioning data, the travel data storage unit 33c may store the positioning data acquired from the mobile terminal of the pedestrian together with the type of transportation means called "pedestrian" and information on the attributes. Alternatively, for example, the travel data storage unit 33c may estimate (discriminate) and store the attributes of the transportation means from information indicated by the travel data (the route (road type) traveled, the travel speed, etc.). The travel data storage unit 33c may store the travel data of an automobile divided into the attributes of the automobile (for example, large vehicle, ordinary vehicle, etc.).

[0030] The display condition storage unit 33d stores display conditions for selecting one or more transportation means to be displayed from among a plurality of transportation means and for specifying the driving state (e.g., one or both of traffic volume and speed) for each transportation means. When one type of transportation means includes a plurality of attributes, the display condition may include information for specifying the driving state (e.g., one or both of traffic volume and speed) for each attribute.

[0031] FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of the screen 5 displayed on the terminal display unit 25, and FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an enlarged view of a portion 51 for setting display conditions on the screen 5 displayed on the terminal display unit 25. In the example shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, four types of transportation means, namely, "standard-sized cars", "trucks", "bicycles" and "pedestrians", are selected as the transportation means to be displayed. For "standard-sized cars", a traveling condition of 50 to 900 vehicles and an average speed of 30 to 80 km / h is specified. For "trucks", a traveling condition of 100 to 1000 vehicles and an average speed of 40 km / h or less is specified. For "bicycles", a traveling condition of 150 to 300 vehicles and an average speed of 10 to 30 km / h is specified. For "pedestrians," a traveling state of 10 to 300 people is specified, and further, for the attribute "elementary school students to junior high school students," a traveling state of 50 to 100 people is specified, for the attribute "high school students," a traveling state of 10 to 100 people is specified, and for the attribute "elderly people," a traveling state of 30 to 100 people is specified. With reference to Fig. 4, the numerical values ​​of the traffic volume and average speed that are initially displayed (before the user specifies them) in the section 51 for setting the display conditions may be changed each time the display area is switched (e.g., switched to the minimum / maximum value for that area).

[0032] In the example shown in FIG. 4, the display conditions include information that specifies one or both of the traffic volume and the speed with a specific numerical value, but are not limited thereto. For example, as shown in FIG. 5, the display conditions may include information that specifies the weighting (degree) of how much importance is desired for one or both of the traffic volume and the speed. In the example shown in FIG. 5, four types of transportation means, namely, "ordinary cars", "trucks", "bicycles" and "pedestrians", are selected as the transportation means to be displayed, as in the example shown in FIG. 4, but the traffic volume and average speed of "trucks" are specified with the degrees of "high" and "slightly fast", respectively. In addition, the traffic volume and average speed of "ordinary cars" are specified with the degrees of "normal" and "slightly fast", respectively. The traffic volume and average speed of "bicycles" are specified with the degrees of "very high" and "normal", respectively. The volume of pedestrians is designated as "slightly high," and among "pedestrians," the volume of elementary school to junior high school students is designated as "very high," the volume of high school students as "normal," and the volume of elderly people as "high."

[0033] Although not shown in the figures, the display conditions may further include information specifying at least one of the type of road section or point to be displayed (for example, national road, prefectural road, municipal road, etc.), width, number of lanes, speed limit, presence or absence of bicycle path (bicycle-only path), and presence or absence of sidewalk. The display conditions may further include information specifying the presence or absence of a history of traffic violations (for example, failure to stop temporarily, sudden acceleration / deceleration, using a smartphone while driving, driving the wrong way, driving on the right side of the road, etc.) in the road section or point to be displayed.

[0034] Although not shown in the figures, the display conditions may further include information specifying the bicycle travel category (carriageway, bicycle path, sidewalk, shoulder, etc.) in the road section or location to be displayed when bicycle is selected as the means of transportation to be displayed. The display conditions may further include information specifying whether there is a history of traffic accidents in the road section or location to be displayed. The display conditions may further include information specifying whether there are plans for construction work (for example, plans for construction of a bicycle path) in the road section or location to be displayed. The display conditions may further include information specifying the operation status of route buses in the road section or location to be displayed.

[0035] The display conditions input by the user of the terminal device 2 by operating the section 51 for setting the display conditions are transmitted from the terminal device 2 to the server 3, acquired by the display condition acquisition unit 32b described later, and stored in the display condition memory unit 25.

[0036] In addition, the server memory unit 33 does not necessarily have to be provided within the server 3, and part or all of the server memory unit 33 may be provided within another device that is communicatively connected to the server 3 via the network 4.

[0037] The server control unit 32 has a travel data acquisition unit 32a, a display condition acquisition unit 32b, a display control unit 32c, a road section or point designation acceptance unit 32d, a second display control unit 32e, and an administrator setting information acquisition unit 32f. Each of these units 32a to 32f may be realized by a processor in the server 3 executing a predetermined program, or may be implemented in hardware.

[0038] The travel data acquisition unit 32a acquires travel data of multiple means of transportation within a specified area. For example, referring to FIG. 3, when the user of the terminal device 2 operates the mesh selection portion 52 on the screen 5 displayed on the terminal display unit 25 to select one or multiple meshes, the travel data acquisition unit 32a may extract and acquire travel data of multiple means of transportation within the area corresponding to the selected meshes from the travel data storage unit 33c. Note that the target area is not limited to being specified by a mesh number, and may be specified by, for example, an address area.

[0039] 3, when the user of the terminal device 2 operates the date selection section 53 in the screen 5 displayed on the terminal display unit 25 to specify one or more dates or periods (and / or time periods), the travel data acquisition unit 32a may extract and acquire travel data of multiple means of transportation within a predetermined area on the specified date or period (and / or time period) from the travel data storage unit 33c. In the date selection section 53, the time period may be specified by a specific numerical value (for example, 6:00 to 12:00, etc.), or may be specified by a category such as morning / daytime / evening / late night. In addition, in the date selection section 53, a category such as weekday / holiday may be specified.

[0040] The display condition acquisition unit 32b acquires display conditions that select one or more transportation means to be displayed from among multiple transportation means and specify the driving state of each transportation means. For example, referring to Fig. 3 and Fig. 4, when the user of the terminal device 2 operates the part 51 for setting the display conditions in the screen 5 displayed on the terminal display unit 25 to select one or more transportation means and specify the driving state (for example, traffic volume, average speed, etc.), the display condition acquisition unit 32a may acquire information on the selected transportation means and the specified driving state as display conditions from the terminal device 2 and store them in the display condition storage unit 25.

[0041] Based on the driving data acquired by the driving data acquisition unit 32a, the display control unit 32c analyzes the driving conditions of each of the multiple transportation means in each road section or point within the target area (for example, calculates the traffic volume and average speed of each of the multiple transportation means for each road section or point within the target area), and identifies (extracts) the road sections or points that satisfy the display conditions acquired by the display condition acquisition unit 32b. For example, in the example shown in FIG. 3, the display control unit 32c identifies (extracts) one or more road sections or points within the target area where the traffic volume of "ordinary cars" is 50 to 900 vehicles and the average speed is 30 to 80 km / h, the traffic volume of "trucks" is 100 to 1000 vehicles and the average speed is 40 km / h or less, the traffic volume of "bicycles" is 150 to 300 vehicles and the average speed is 10 to 30 km / h, the traffic volume of "pedestrians" is 10 to 300 people, and further, the traffic volume of "elementary school students to junior high school students" is 50 to 100 people, the traffic volume of "high school students" is 10 to 100 people, and the traffic volume of "elderly people" is 30 to 100 people.

[0042] Then, the display control unit 32c transmits a control signal to the terminal device 2 for highlighting the extracted road sections or points on the map, and, referring to FIG. 3, highlights the extracted road sections or points 61-63 (for example, in a color, density and / or line thickness different from other road sections or points) on the map 54 in the screen 5 displayed on the terminal display unit 25.

[0043] As shown in Fig. 3, the display control unit 32c may highlight the extracted road sections or points 61-63 in different manners (for example, different colors, densities and / or line thicknesses) according to the stage (large or small) of the driving conditions specified by the display conditions. In the example shown in Fig. 3, the road section or point 63 with a traffic volume of less than 200 standard vehicles is highlighted with a lighter density than the road section or point 61 with a traffic volume of 200-500 standard vehicles, and the road section or point 62 with a traffic volume of 500 or more standard vehicles is highlighted with a darker density than the road section or point 61 with a traffic volume of 200-500 standard vehicles.

[0044] The road section or point designation receiving unit 32d receives information designating one of the road sections or points highlighted on the map. For example, referring to Fig. 9, when the user of the terminal device 2 operates the terminal input unit 24 to designate (click or touch) one of the road sections or points highlighted on the map, the road section or point designation receiving unit 32d acquires and accepts information on the designated road section or point from the terminal device 2.

[0045] The second display control unit 32e transmits a control signal to the terminal device 2 for displaying detailed information (such as specific numerical values ​​for each item) about the driving conditions of each of the multiple means of transportation in the specified road section or point, and displays it on the screen 5 of the terminal display unit 25 (for example, in a pop-up 65) with reference to Figure 9.

[0046] As shown in FIG. 9, the second display control unit 32e may identify detailed information about the driving conditions that satisfy predetermined conditions (for example, "the number of bicycles passing is 150 or more," "the number of elementary school students to junior high school students passing is 50% or more"), and highlight the identified detailed information (for example, display it in a color, font size and / or thickness that is different from the numerical values ​​of other items).

[0047] 10, the road section or point designation receiving unit 32d may overwrite the driving conditions of one or more selected means of transportation among the display conditions stored in the display condition storage unit 33c (i.e., the display conditions input to the display condition setting unit 51) with the values ​​of the driving conditions of the selected means of transportation at the designated road section or point. In this case, the second display control unit 32e may extract the road sections or points 66a-66c that satisfy the overwritten display conditions and highlight them on the map 54 (for example, display them in a color, density and / or line thickness different from those of the other road sections or points).

[0048] The administrator setting information acquisition unit 32f acquires information for setting the selection candidates of the transportation means to be displayed to the user from the administrator side when the user selects one or more transportation means as a display condition from among multiple transportation means. FIG. 11 is a diagram showing an example of a screen displayed on the administrator's terminal, which sets the selection candidates of the transportation means for each user. In the example shown in FIG. 11, for the user A, only "standard car", "truck", "motorcycle", "bicycle" and "pedestrian" are designated as selection candidates among multiple transportation means ("routed bus" and "special small motorized bicycle" are excluded from the selection candidates). The administrator setting information acquisition unit 32f acquires information on the transportation means designated as selection candidates ("standard car", "truck", "motorcycle", "bicycle" and "pedestrian") from the administrator's terminal. In this case, in the section 51 for setting the display conditions of the screen 5 displayed on the terminal device 2 of the user A, as shown in FIG. 3, only "standard car", "truck", "motorcycle", "bicycle" and "pedestrian" are displayed as candidates of transportation means that can be selected as display conditions ("routed bus" and "special small motorized bicycle" are not displayed in the section 51 for setting the display conditions). This has the advantage that, for example, if user A is a person in charge of a local government that does not operate route buses and does not offer a sharing service for specific small motorized bicycles, transportation methods that are not relevant to the local government that user A is in charge of will not be displayed on screen 5, making the display on screen 5 simpler and easier to read, and making it easier to input display conditions.

[0049] (Example of operation) Next, an example of the operation of the information processing system 1 having such a configuration will be described with reference to Fig. 2. Fig. 2 is a flowchart showing an example of the operation of the information processing system 1.

[0050] As shown in Fig. 2, first, the travel data acquisition unit 32a of the server 3 acquires travel data of multiple means of transportation within a predetermined area (step S10). For example, referring to Fig. 3, when the user of the terminal device 2 operates the mesh selection portion 52 on the screen 5 displayed on the terminal display unit 25 to select one or multiple meshes (four meshes in the example shown in Fig. 3), the travel data acquisition unit 32a extracts and acquires travel data of multiple means of transportation within the area corresponding to the selected mesh from the travel data storage unit 33c.

[0051] Next, the display condition acquisition unit 32b selects one or more transportation means to be displayed from among the multiple transportation means and acquires display conditions that specify the driving conditions for each transportation means (step S11). For example, referring to Fig. 3 and Fig. 4, when the user of the terminal device 2 operates the part 51 for setting the display conditions in the screen 5 displayed on the terminal display unit 25 to select one or more transportation means and specify their driving conditions (for example, traffic volume, average speed, etc.), the display condition acquisition unit 32a acquires information on the selected transportation means and the specified driving conditions from the terminal device 2 as display conditions.

[0052] In step S11, information for setting transportation means selection candidates is acquired in advance from the administrator's terminal by the administrator setting information acquisition unit 32f, and when the user of the terminal device 2 sets the display conditions by operating the section 51 for setting the display conditions on the screen 5 displayed on the terminal display unit 25, only the transportation means specified by the administrator may be displayed in the section 51 as candidates for transportation means that can be selected as display conditions.

[0053] Next, the display control unit 32c analyzes the driving conditions of each of the multiple transportation means in each road section or point in the target area based on the driving data acquired by the driving data acquisition unit 32a (for example, calculates the traffic volume, average speed, etc. of each of the multiple transportation means for each road section or point in the target area) (step S12).

[0054] Next, the display control unit 32c identifies (extracts) road sections or points that satisfy the display conditions acquired by the display condition acquisition unit 32b, and with reference to Fig. 3, highlights the extracted road sections or points 61-63 on the map 54 in the screen 5 displayed on the terminal display unit 25 (step S13). As shown in Fig. 3, the display control unit 32c may highlight the extracted road sections or points 61-63 in different manners (for example, different colors, densities and / or line thicknesses) depending on the stage of the driving conditions specified by the display conditions.

[0055] When the user of the terminal device 2 changes the display conditions by operating the section 51 for setting the display conditions on the screen 5 displayed on the terminal display unit 25 (step S14: YES), the display condition acquisition unit 32b acquires the changed display conditions from the terminal device 2 (step S15), and the display control unit 32c re-identifies (extracts) the road section or point that satisfies the changed display conditions and highlights them on the map 54 (step S16).

[0056] For example, as shown in Fig. 6, when a user of the terminal device 2 operates the section 51 for setting display conditions to select "ordinary cars" and "trucks" and to specify the entire range for each traffic condition (traffic volume and average speed), the display control unit 32c identifies (extracts) road sections or points that satisfy the changed display conditions and highlights them on the map 54. In the example shown in Fig. 6, all roads on which "ordinary cars" and "trucks" can travel are highlighted on the map 54.

[0057] Next, as shown in Fig. 7, when the user of the terminal device 2 operates the section 51 for setting the display conditions to limit the average speed of "trucks" to 40 km / h or more, the display control unit 32c identifies (extracts) road sections or points that satisfy the changed display conditions and highlights them on the map 54. In the example shown in Fig. 7, narrow streets are filtered out and national roads with heavy traffic are made to stand out.

[0058] Next, as shown in Fig. 8, when the user of the terminal device 2 further operates the section 51 for setting the display conditions to limit the traffic volume of "ordinary cars" to 500 or less, and the traffic volume of "trucks" to 100 or more and the average speed to 40 km / h or more, the display control unit 32c identifies (extracts) road sections or points that satisfy the changed display conditions and highlights them on the map 54. In the example shown in Fig. 8, national roads with heavy traffic are filtered out, and roads where trucks travel at high speeds, such as prefectural roads, are highlighted.

[0059] Next, the road section or point designation receiving unit 32d receives information designating one of the road sections or points 61-63 highlighted on the map 54 (step S17). For example, referring to Fig. 9, when the user of the terminal device 2 operates the terminal input unit 24 to designate (click or touch) one road section or point 64 from the road sections or points highlighted on the map, the road section or point designation receiving unit 32d acquires and accepts information on the designated road section or point from the terminal device 2.

[0060] Next, the second display control unit 32e displays (for example, in a pop-up 65) detailed information on the driving conditions of each of the multiple transportation means in the specified road section or point (such as specific numerical values ​​for each item) on the screen 5 of the terminal display unit 25 (step S18). As shown in Fig. 9, the second display control unit 32e may highlight detailed information on the driving conditions that meets a predetermined condition (for example, "the number of bicycles passing is 150 or more" or "the number of elementary school students to junior high school students passing is 50% or more") among the displayed detailed information.

[0061] 10, the road section or point designation receiving unit 32d overwrites the values ​​of the driving conditions of the selected one or more means of transportation among the display conditions stored in the display condition storage unit 33c (i.e., the display conditions input to the display condition setting unit 51) with the values ​​of the driving conditions of the selected road section or point (step S19).Then, the second display control unit 32e extracts the road sections or points 66a to 66c that satisfy the overwritten display conditions and highlights them on the map 54 (step S20).

[0062] According to the present embodiment described above, one or more transportation means to be displayed are selected from multiple transportation means, display conditions that specify the driving conditions for each transportation means are acquired, and road sections or points that satisfy the display conditions are extracted and highlighted on the map based on the driving data of the multiple transportation means, thereby making it possible to display data for multiple transportation means superimposed on the map, and it is also possible to freely select and change the transportation means to be displayed. This makes it possible to evaluate the influence of the driving conditions of other transportation means on the driving conditions of a certain transportation means, and the influence of the driving conditions of other transportation means on the driving conditions of the other transportation means.
