[Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2007-40907 [Patent Document 2] Re-table No. 2022-195798 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] In the event of a crisis, such as a disaster or an attack from an enemy aircraft, it is necessary to quickly grasp information about the wide area affected and implement appropriate countermeasures. For this reason, the practical application of an aerial measurement system that acquires wide-area images and spatial information using manned or unmanned aircraft is being considered.

[0005] In the event of a crisis like the one described above, ordinary people evacuating from the affected area and disaster response personnel (rescuers, evacuators, firefighters, heavy machinery construction workers, relief supply transporters, volunteer groups, etc.) want to move safely and quickly. However, especially immediately after a crisis occurs, whether an area is dangerous or whether roads are unusable can change rapidly in a short period of time, making it difficult to appropriately determine the destination and route to move safely and quickly.

[0006] In addition, each of the ordinary people evacuating and disaster response personnel may have different priorities regarding travel, such as prioritizing safety, traveling in a short amount of time, or traveling a short distance, making it difficult to determine the destination and route to travel that meets each individual's priorities.

[0007] Therefore, the present invention has been made in consideration of at least one of the above problems, and one of its objects is to support decisions regarding movement in areas where a crisis such as a disaster has occurred. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] According to the present invention, an information control system is obtained which includes a measurement data acquisition unit that acquires measurement data of a target area after a crisis occurs or processed data of the measurement data, a status determination unit that determines the status of an area or road at least a part of which is included in the target area based on the measurement data, a start position acquisition unit that acquires the start position of the movement, a proposal information generation unit that generates at least one of a destination point and a movement route to the destination point to be proposed to the user based on the start position and the status, and a display unit that displays information about the destination point or the movement route generated by the proposal information generation unit. [Effects of the Invention]

[0009] According to the present invention, it is possible to support decisions regarding movement in an area where a crisis such as a disaster has occurred. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0023] The aircraft control system 1100 is a system implemented in an aircraft, satellite, or other flying object, and performs aircraft control including flight control and measurement control of the flying object. The aircraft control system 1100 includes, for example, a flight unit having a flight function, a sensing unit that performs sensing using sensors (optical cameras, IR cameras, sensors including radar sensors such as SAR sensors, LiDAR, other laser sensors, etc.), a communication unit that communicates with each system via a communication infrastructure management system 1400 (described later) via satellites, a mobile phone communication network, etc., a state determination unit that determines each state of flight, sensing, and positioning, a data recording unit that records acquired data, etc., and a state determination result recording unit that records information related to flight control and measurement control, as well as state determination results.

[0024] In this specification, the term "aircraft" refers to any flying object capable of autonomous attitude control, regardless of the power source (electric power, prime mover, etc.), the control method (wireless or wired, fully autonomous flight or partially manual flight, etc.), and whether manned or unmanned. Aircraft may also be referred to as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), multicopters, remote piloted aircraft systems (RPASs), or unmanned aircraft systems (UASs). Aircraft may be fixed-wing aircraft, multicopter aircraft with multiple propellers, or VTOL aircraft with both fixed wings and multiple propellers. The term "aircraft" also refers to any device that flies in the sky, such as balloons and artificial satellites, in addition to the aircraft mentioned above.

[0025] The aircraft flight operating system 1200 is a system that generates a flight mission for the aircraft controlled by the aircraft control system 1100 and controls the movement of the aircraft. The flight mission is, for example, a movement plan including the movement route and movement speed of the aircraft, and the movement route is generated in an airspace at an altitude of, for example, 100 m to 6000 m. The aircraft flight operating system 1200 transmits control signals to the aircraft via the communication infrastructure management system 1400, which will be described later, in order to operate the aircraft automatically.

[0026] The acquired data management system 1300 has a data management function that acquires and records aerial measurement data (optical image data, IR image data, SAR image data, point cloud data acquired by laser sensors such as LiDAR, other spatial data, etc.) and status data of the target area sensed by the aircraft's airframe control system 1100 via communication infrastructure management.

[0027] The communication infrastructure management system 1400 is a system that manages the communication means for data (such as aeronautical measurement data acquired by sensing by an aircraft) transmitted and received between the aircraft control system 1100 and other systems within the data acquisition system 1000, as well as for control information related to aircraft flight and measurement control. Furthermore, the communication infrastructure management system 1400 manages the communication means for data (such as aeronautical measurement data acquired by sensing by an aircraft) transmitted and received between the data acquisition system 1000 and the spatial information data utilization system 2000.

[0028] The logistics support system 1500 is a system that supports the rapid and smooth execution of each task required for acquiring aerial measurement data executed by the data acquisition system 1000 and the coordination between these tasks. Specifically, the system determines whether the data is appropriate based on the acquired data and status data acquired by the acquired data management system 1300, and if the data is inappropriate, issues a request for remeasurement. The logistics support system 1500 may also have a function to determine whether the power and communication infrastructure at the data acquisition site is available and provide alternative means. The logistics support system 1500 may also support each task at the site where an aircraft or other air vehicle is operated (pre-flight equipment preparation, equipment movement, equipment inspection, equipment adjustment, sensor calibration, in-flight operation, coordination, post-flight post-processing, equipment diagnosis, cleanup, etc.). The logistics support system 1500 also determines the equipment and facilities required for each task at the site where an aircraft or other air vehicle is operated, and notifies the equipment and facilities management system and reservation system (described later) of the required equipment and facilities.

[0029] The flight management system 1600 is a system that makes decisions and gives instructions for aircraft operations. The flight management system 1600 prepares plans for aircraft operations, including sensing and flight, and transmits the plans to the aircraft control system 1100 that controls the aircraft via the communication infrastructure management system 1400. The flight management system 1600 may prepare plans for multiple aircraft and transmit information about the plans to the aircraft control systems 1100 that control each of the aircraft.

[0030] The airspace monitoring and control system 1700 is a system that monitors the airspace in which the target aircraft is flying. The airspace monitoring and control system 1700 acquires information on the position of the aircraft from the air traffic control system 9000, which controls the aircraft flying in the target airspace. The air traffic control system 9000 may be, for example, a drone traffic management system (UTM), an aircraft traffic management subsystem (UASSP), or an air traffic management system (ATM). That is, the airspace monitoring and control system 1700 measures or acquires information on the environment in the airspace in which the aircraft is flying, other aircraft, etc., and transmits the information to the flight management system 1600. If there is a problem with the aircraft's work plan based on the information from the airspace monitoring and control system 1700, the flight management system 1600 changes the work plan.

[0031] (A-1-3. Spatial Information Data Utilization System 2000) 3 is a configuration diagram of a spatial information data utilization system 2000. The spatial information data utilization system 2000 integrates aerial sensing data of a target area acquired from the data acquisition system 1000 with map data of the target area to generate a map image in which the aerial sensing data and the map are integrated. The system also provides the generated map image to a route guidance system 3000. The spatial information data utilization system 2000 includes a measurement data acquisition unit 2100, a map data storage unit 2200, a user input acceptance unit 2300, and a map image generation unit 2400.

[0032] The measurement data acquisition unit 2100 is a functional unit that acquires aerial measurement data of the ground surface area of ​​the measurement target measured by the data acquisition system 1000 and transmits the data to the route guidance system 3000 .

[0033] The map data storage unit 2200 records map data that has been acquired in advance directly from the external system 4000 or indirectly via the route guidance system 3000 or the like, or that has been received from the user, and provides the recorded map data to the map image generation unit 2400. Here, the map data refers to data related to geographical information, and includes, for example, GIS geographical information, polygon geographical data, basic map data, and the like.

[0034] The user input receiving unit 2300 receives user requests for the generation process executed by the map image generation unit 2400. For example, the user input receiving unit 2300 receives a designation of a target area for generating a map image from the user. Alternatively, if a defect is found in aerial sensing data such as aerial images or three-dimensional point cloud data acquired from the measurement data acquisition unit 2100, the user can input an instruction not to use the aerial sensing data.

[0035] The map image generation unit 2400 generates a GIS integrated image by integrating the aerial sensing data acquired from the measurement data acquisition unit 2100 and the map data acquired from the map data storage unit 2200. The generated GIS integrated image is transmitted to the route guidance system 3000.

The disaster information provided includes systems that provide disaster information such as disaster area, disaster status, damage spread predicted area, disaster occurrence probability, area safety level, evacuation situation, disaster type, disaster level (damage scale), area intrusion possibility status, infrastructure situation, area security situation, road damage situation, road traffic situation, road infrastructure situation, road security situation, dam water release information, etc. Examples of the disaster information providing system 4100 include a disaster application, a system under the jurisdiction of the Japan Meteorological Agency, and a system under the jurisdiction of a local government.

[0038] The ground camera information providing system 4200 is a system that can acquire camera information of images or videos taken by cameras installed on the ground or on features, such as fixed cameras or surveillance cameras, and provide the camera information to the route guidance system 3000.

[0039] The geographic information providing system 4300 is a GIS (Geographical Information System) of the Geospatial Information Authority of Japan or other such system that provides map images, polygon geographic data, and basic map data.

[0040] The local government information providing system 4400 is a system that provides local government information related to local governments such as prefectures, cities, towns, and villages and municipalities owned by administrative agencies such as the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, and the local government information includes, for example, location information of predetermined evacuation shelters, the number of people that each evacuation shelter can accommodate, facility information, etc. Furthermore, the local government information may also include information on potential alternative evacuation points in addition to the predetermined evacuation shelters.

[0041] In addition to these, the local government information may also include information on the disaster type, disaster area, disaster level, and disaster status, as well as the population of residents in each city, town, village, or district, contact information for residents, age, nursing care certification information, relative information, or information on buildings in each district.

[0042] Here, disaster types include, for example, collapse, flooding, tsunami, landslide, fire, and damage. Area entry availability status includes, for example, whether or not passage / entry is permitted, and whether or not an evacuation advisory has been issued. Infrastructure status includes, for example, no street lights due to a power outage, stopped traffic signals, gas outage, water outage, and wireless communication network outage. Road damage status includes, for example, narrowing and changes in width, deteriorated road surface (cracks, rubble, flooding), and the like. Road infrastructure status includes, for example, road-related infrastructure status such as no street lights due to a power outage and stopped traffic signals.

[0043] (A-1-5. Route guidance system 3000) 5 is a functional block diagram of a route guidance system 3000. The route guidance system 3000 includes an information import unit 3100, a current situation determination unit 3200, a future prediction unit 3300, a travel time calculation unit 3400, a start point position acquisition unit 3500, a user information acquisition unit 3600, a proposal information generation unit 3700, and an update information notification unit 3800.

[0044] (A-1-5-1. Information import unit 3100) The information import unit has the function of acquiring information used for processing in the route guidance system 3000, or information to be provided to users of the crisis response on-site command system 5000, the user terminal device 6000, or the material transportation related person terminal device 7000, and is equipped with a GIS integrated image acquisition unit 3110, a ground image information acquisition unit 3120, a disaster information acquisition unit 3130, a geographic information acquisition unit 3140, a local government information acquisition unit 3150, and a missing data request unit 3160.

[0045] The GIS integrated image acquisition unit 3110 has a function of acquiring GIS integrated image data from the spatial information data utilization system 2000. Note that the GIS integrated image acquisition unit 3110 may acquire measurement data acquired by the data acquisition system 1000 instead of a GIS integrated image (processed measurement data) in which map data has been integrated with measurement data. An example of a GIS integrated image will be described below.

[0046] Fig. 12 is a diagram showing an example of a GIS integrated image acquired by the GIS integrated image acquisition unit 3110. As shown in Fig. 12, the GIS integrated image is information in which measurement data and map data are integrated, and is information in which pre-recorded map data is integrated with measurement information of the target area at the time of measurement, so it is possible to grasp the current situation of the target area.

[0047] The ground image information acquisition unit 3120 has a function of acquiring image data captured by measuring instruments such as surveillance cameras and fixed cameras installed on the ground or on features such as buildings from the ground camera information providing system 4200. Here, the information acquired by the ground image information acquisition unit 3120 is not limited to optical images, but may also be IR images, point cloud information, spatial data, etc.

[0048] The disaster information acquisition unit 3130 has a function of acquiring various types of disaster information provided by the disaster information provision system 4100. An example of disaster information will be described below.

[0049] FIG. 13 is a diagram illustrating an example of disaster information acquired by the disaster information acquisition unit 3130. As illustrated in FIG. 13, the disaster information includes information such as a disaster type, a disaster area, a safety level, and an information source. Here, disaster types can include not only earthquakes and fires but also volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, heavy rain, floods (including rising water levels due to dam water release), landslides, typhoons, and lightning strikes. Disaster areas can include not only disaster-occurring areas where disasters have already occurred, but also disaster-predicted areas where future disasters are predicted. The safety level is an index indicating the degree of safety for each area, and may be updated based on real-time information or estimated based on historical information from past disasters. The information source is information regarding the source of disaster information, and can include the Japan Meteorological Agency, government offices, disaster prevention apps, and the like.

[0050] In the example shown in FIG. 13 above, an example of disaster information including information on the disaster type and safety level associated with an area is shown, but this is not limiting. Disaster information may also be provided as road disaster status and safety level associated with a road. Note that the road disaster status associated with a road may include impassability, presence or absence of traffic congestion, road usage history, etc. Furthermore, the road disaster status may be acquired, for example, from an external map information providing system.

[0051] The geographic information acquisition unit 3140 has a function of acquiring geographic information provided by the geographic information providing system 4300. An example of the geographic information will be described below.

[0052] Fig. 14 is a diagram showing an example of geographic information acquired by the geographic information acquisition unit 3140. As shown in Fig. 14, the geographic information includes map image information relating to a target area for which information such as destination points and travel routes is provided by the route guidance system 3000. In addition to such map images, the geographic information may also include polygon geographic data and basic map data relating to each area and each road within the target area.

[0053] The local government information acquisition unit 3150 has a function of acquiring local government information related to a city, town, or village owned by a local government such as a city, town, or village, provided from the local government information providing system 4400. An example of local government information will be described below.

[0054] Fig. 15 is a diagram showing an example of evacuation shelter information etc. acquired by the local government information acquisition unit 3150. As shown in Fig. 15, the local government information acquisition unit 3150 can acquire evacuation shelter information related to evacuation shelters as local government information. The example shown in Fig. 15 shows an example in which information is acquired as evacuation shelter information regarding a plurality of evacuation shelters (elementary schools, junior high schools, high schools, community centers, and civic gymnasiums) within a target area and alternative evacuation sites (parks) that can be used as evacuation shelters, and in particular, information regarding the address, capacity, and facilities of each evacuation shelter etc. is shown.

[0055] If there is a lack of data required to generate suggested information such as a status determination or travel route within a target area, the missing data request unit 3160 outputs a request signal for the missing data to the external system 4000 and the spatial information data utilization system 2000. For example, if a status determination cannot be performed due to a lack of measurement data for a certain area, the missing data request unit 3160 transmits a request signal for a GIS integrated image for that area to the spatial information data utilization system 2000, and if there is a lack of disaster information for that area, the missing data request unit 3160 transmits a request signal for disaster information for that area to the disaster information provision system 4100. The request signal may also display the date and time of information acquisition or the urgency level.

[0056] (A-1-5-2. Status determination) Next, a functional unit that determines the status of areas and roads at least part of which is included in the target area will be described. The functional unit that determines the status is made up of a current status determination unit 3200 and a future prediction unit 3300 shown in FIG.

[0057] The current situation determination unit 3200 is a functional unit that determines the status, particularly the current status, of areas and roads at least a part of which is included in the target area, based on the various information acquired by the information import unit 3100. Here, the current status determined by the current situation determination unit 3200 is the status at the time when the various data (GIS integrated image, measurement data, ground image, disaster information, etc.) used for the determination by the current situation determination unit 3200 was acquired. The current situation determination unit 3200 includes an area situation determination unit 3210, a road situation determination unit 3220, and a people flow determination unit 3230.

[0058] The area status determination unit 3210 is a functional unit that determines the status of each of a plurality of areas at least partially included in the target area. As an example, the area status determination unit 3210 interprets the damage status for each area by analyzing the GIS integrated image (or measurement data) acquired by the GIS integrated image acquisition unit 3110. In addition to or instead of analyzing the GIS integrated image (or measurement data), the area status determination unit 3210 can also interpret the damage status for each area by analyzing the ground image acquired by the ground image information acquisition unit 3120. In addition to or instead of these processes, the area status determination unit 3210 can also interpret the damage status for each area based on disaster information acquired by the disaster information acquisition unit 3130.

[0059] The status of the area determined by the area status determination unit 3210 may include, for example, the type of disaster (collapse, flooding, tsunami, landslide, fire, damage, etc.), disaster level (scale of damage, disaster cycle (hyperacute phase, acute phase, subacute phase, chronic phase, calm phase)), whether or not it is possible to enter the area (whether or not it is possible to pass or enter, whether or not there is an evacuation advisory, etc.), the state of the area infrastructure (street lights not working due to a power outage, traffic lights stopped, etc.), and the security situation in the area (deteriorating security, fire, etc.).

[0060] The road condition determination unit 3220 is a functional unit that determines the status of each of a plurality of roads at least a part of which is included in the target area. The road condition determination unit 3220 can determine the condition of each road by, for example, analyzing a GIS integrated image (or measurement data) to interpret the damage condition of each road, analyzing ground images acquired by the ground image information acquisition unit 3120 to interpret the damage condition of each road, or based on disaster information acquired by the disaster information acquisition unit 3130, in the same way as the condition determination for each area by the area condition determination unit 3210 described above.

[0061] The road status determined by the road condition determination unit 3220 may include, for example, road damage status (reduced road width due to rubble or sinkholes, road surface damage, flooding, etc.), road traffic conditions (presence or absence of traffic congestion, etc.), road infrastructure status (street lights out due to power outage, traffic lights out, etc.), road security status (deteriorating security, fires, etc.), etc.

[0062] The pedestrian flow determination unit 3230 is a functional unit that generates pedestrian flow information regarding pedestrian flow in an area or road at least partially included in the target area. This pedestrian flow information can be predicted based on, for example, time-series measurement data acquired by the data acquisition system 1000 from an aircraft or satellite, time-series data from external ground camera information, or time-series data from the current location of a user terminal device. For example, the general flow of people in a specified area can be predicted from measurement data acquired from an aircraft or satellite. As another example, the pedestrian flow at a specific location can be predicted from time-series data from ground camera information. Furthermore, the pedestrian flow trends of users can be identified from time-series data from the current location of a user terminal device. The pedestrian flow determination unit 3230 can also determine the traffic history for each road from this pedestrian flow information.

[0063] The current situation determination unit 3200 can record information determined by the area situation determination unit 3210, road situation determination unit 3220, and people flow determination unit 3230. For example, it can record the disaster situation for each area after a disaster occurs, the damage situation for roads, the evacuation status of residents, and the traffic history data for each road, as well as the status of areas and roads in peacetime. This information can be used to predict the status in the event of a future disaster and to calculate and predict travel times (described below). Note that in order for the area situation determination unit 3210, road situation determination unit 3220, and people flow determination unit 3230 to determine the area situation, road situation, and people flow based on measurement data acquired from aircraft or satellites, measurement data with a resolution high enough to enable each determination unit to make the determination is required. Therefore, for example, measurement data with a ground resolution of approximately 20 cm or less can be used to make each determination. For more accurate determinations, it is desirable to use high-resolution measurement data with a ground resolution of approximately 5 cm or less.

[0064] The future prediction unit 3300 is a functional unit that predicts the status of areas and roads at least a part of which is included in the target area, in particular the future status. The future prediction unit 3300 includes an area condition prediction unit 3310 and a road condition prediction unit 3320. Here, the future status predicted by the future prediction unit 3300 may be a prediction of the travel time at a time a predetermined time has elapsed from the current time, or may be a prediction of each status at a plurality of times in the future.

[0065] The area status prediction unit 3310 is a functional unit that determines a future status for each of a plurality of areas at least a portion of which is included in the target area. As an example, the area status prediction unit 3310 can predict a future status for each area based on the current status for each area determined by the current status determination unit 3200. Furthermore, in addition to or instead of the current status for each area determined by the current status determination unit 3200, the area status prediction unit 3310 can predict a future status for each area based on historical information on past disaster occurrences acquired as disaster information or local government information.

[0066] The future status for each area predicted by the area status prediction unit 3310 may include, similar to the status determined by the area status determination unit 3210, for example, disaster type (collapse, flooding, tsunami, landslide, fire, damage, etc.), disaster level (scale of damage, disaster cycle (hyperacute phase, acute phase, subacute phase, chronic phase, calm phase)), whether or not entry into the area is possible (whether or not passage / entry is possible, whether or not evacuation advisories are issued, etc.), area infrastructure status (street lights out due to power outage, traffic lights stopped, etc.), area security status (deteriorating security, fire outbreak, etc.), etc.

[0067] The road condition prediction unit 3320 is a functional unit that determines the future status of each of a plurality of roads at least a portion of which is included in the target area. As an example, the road condition determination unit 3220 can predict the future status of each road based on the current status of each road determined by the current status determination unit 3200. Furthermore, the road condition prediction unit 3320 can predict the future status of each road based on historical information on past disasters acquired as disaster information or local government information in addition to, or instead of, the current status of each road determined by the current status determination unit 3200.

[0068] In addition, the future status of each road predicted by the road condition prediction unit 3320 may include, similar to the status determined by the road condition determination unit 3220, for example, the damage status of the road (narrowing of road width due to rubble or sinkholes, road surface damage, flooding, etc.), road traffic conditions (presence or absence of traffic jams, etc.), road infrastructure status (street lights not working due to power outages, traffic lights out, etc.), road security status (deteriorating security, fires, etc.), etc.

[0069] (A-1-5-3. Travel time calculation unit 3400) The travel time calculation unit 3400 is a functional unit that calculates the estimated travel time required to travel a road now or in the future, depending on the area and road status determined by the current situation determination unit 3200 and future prediction unit 3300. The travel time calculation unit 3400 includes a current situation calculation unit 3410 and a future prediction calculation unit 3420.

[0070] The current status calculation unit 3410 is a functional unit that calculates an estimated travel time for traveling the current road, and calculates the current travel time based on the status of the current area and road determined by the current status determination unit 3200. Alternatively, in addition to or instead of the current status, the current travel time may be calculated based on historical travel record information for the road in past normal times or historical travel record information for other roads in past disasters. Alternatively, the current travel time may be calculated based on pedestrian flow information in areas adjacent to the road determined by the current status determination unit 3200. Here, the current travel time calculated by the current status calculation unit 3410 is assumed to be the travel time at the time when the measurement data used for the determination by the current status determination unit 3200 is acquired. Alternatively, the current travel time may be the travel time at the current time using predicted information on the status of the area and road at the time when the current status calculation unit 3410 calculates the travel time.

[0071] The future prediction calculation unit 3420 is a functional unit that calculates the travel time predicted when traveling along a road in the future, and calculates the future travel time according to the future area and road status determined by the future prediction unit 3300. Here, the future travel time calculated by the future prediction calculation unit 3420 may be a predicted travel time at a time a predetermined time after the current time, or may be a predicted travel time at each of a plurality of times in the future.

[0072] (A-1-5-4. Start position acquisition unit 3500) The start point position acquisition unit 3500 is a functional unit that acquires information about the start point position of a movement. The start point position acquisition unit 3500 can acquire the position information of the user terminal device 6000 used by the user as information about the start point position of a movement. The start point position acquisition unit 3500 can also acquire the start point position information by accepting input of information about the start point position from the user via the user information acquisition unit 3600, which will be described later.

[0073] (A-1-5-5. User information acquisition unit 3600) The user information acquisition unit 3600 is a functional unit that acquires various types of information from the user. The user information acquisition unit 3600 includes a user request acceptance unit 3610 and a selection input acquisition unit 3620.

[0074] #Claim 6# #Claim 12# #B07012# The user request receiving unit 3610 is a functional unit that receives, from the user, information on at least one of destination attributes indicating attributes of the destination, priority determination conditions for the process executed by the proposal information generating unit, and user classification attributes. In addition, the user request receiving unit 3610 may have a function to receive, from the user, information on the starting point position (current position) and the destination point, in addition to the above information.

[0075] Fig. 16 is a diagram showing an example of user input information acquired by the user request receiving unit 3610. As shown in Fig. 16, the user request receiving unit 3610 can receive designated input from the user for each input item such as a starting point position, a destination attribute, a destination point, a priority determination condition, and a user classification attribute.

[0076] When the user request receiving unit 3610 receives a designation input for the input item of the start point position as user input information, the user request receiving unit 3610 may receive, for example, address information of the designated position or coordinate information of the designated position.

[0077] When receiving a designated input for an input item of a destination attribute as user input information, the user request receiving unit 3610 can receive input information of any destination attribute from a plurality of destination attribute candidates including, for example, a shelter as the destination attribute. Other destination attribute candidates may include a hospital, a goods delivery center, a logistics warehouse, etc.

[0078] When receiving a designation input for the input item of the destination point as user input information, the user request receiving unit 3610 can receive a designation input of a specific destination point. For example, as shown in Fig. 16, a designation input of "XX Junior High School" can be received as the destination point.

[0079] When receiving a designated input for an input item of a priority determination condition as user input information, the user request receiving unit 3610 can receive input information of at least one of time priority, distance priority, physical strength priority, safety priority, and fuel saving priority as the priority determination condition. Here, the priority determination condition is a condition to be prioritized when determining the proposed contents of a destination point and a travel route generated by the proposal information generating unit 3700, which will be described later.

[0080] Prioritizing time means prioritizing determining whether to shorten the travel time from the starting point to the destination point. Prioritizing distance means prioritizing determining whether to shorten the travel distance from the starting point to the destination point. Prioritizing physical strength means prioritizing determining whether to reduce the physical strength required to travel on foot from the starting point to the destination point. Prioritizing safety means prioritizing determining whether to travel more safely from the starting point to the destination point. Prioritizing fuel saving means prioritizing determining whether to reduce the vehicle fuel required to travel by vehicle from the starting point to the destination point.

[0081] When the user request receiving unit 3610 receives a designated input for an input item of a user classification attribute as user input information, the unit can receive, for example, input information of at least one of pregnant woman, injured person, infant, elderly person, physically disabled person, able-bodied person, adult, and transportation means. Furthermore, the unit can receive, as user classification attributes, input information of at least one of fire brigade, rescue team, police, Self-Defense Forces, inspection company, heavy equipment operator, evacuation shelter staff, and local government staff, who are users of the field unit terminal device 5300 as shown in FIG. 6. Furthermore, the unit can receive, as user classification attributes, input information of at least one of relief supply management provider, supply transport staff, and supply requester, who use the supply transportation related person terminal device 7000 as shown in FIG. 8. As another example, the unit can receive, as user classification attributes, an attribute of the user's transportation means, where the transportation means can include, for example, automobile, bicycle, wheelchair, walking, and the like.

[0082] Next, the selection input acquisition unit 3620 is a functional unit that receives user input for one or more candidate destination points or candidate travel routes that are generated by the proposal information generation unit 3700 (described later) and displayed on the display unit of the crisis response on-site command system 5000, the user terminal device 6000, or the goods transportation related person terminal device 7000. Here, the user input information received by the selection input acquisition unit 3620 may include, for example, approval, rejection, selection, or a request for re-proposal for the candidate destination points or candidate travel routes.

[0083] (A-1-5-6. Proposal information generation unit 3700) The proposed information generation unit 3700 is a functional unit that generates at least one of a destination point to be proposed to a user and a travel route to the destination point, based on the start point acquired by the start point acquisition unit 3500 and status information determined by the current status determination unit 3200 and the future prediction unit 3300. The proposed information generation unit 3700 includes a destination point generation unit 3710, a travel route generation unit 3720, and a proposed information output unit 3730.

[0084] The destination point generation unit 3710 generates one or more candidate destination points to be proposed to the user in accordance with the information on the starting point location and the status described above. Furthermore, the destination point generation unit 3710 can generate one or more candidate destination points based on information on at least one of the destination attribute, priority determination condition, and user classification attribute received by the user information acquisition unit 3600, in addition to the information on the starting point location and the status.

[0085] When the user information acquisition unit 3600 accepts a shelter as a destination attribute, the destination point generation unit 3710 can generate, based on the location data of multiple shelters previously acquired by the local government information acquisition unit 3150 or the like, one or more shelters that are located in an area determined to be safe by the current situation determination unit 3200 or the future prediction unit 3300 and that can be traveled to by passing through an area or road determined to be safe, as candidate destination points.

[0086] Furthermore, when the destination point generation unit 3710 receives input of priority determination conditions from the user information acquisition unit 3600, it can generate one or more destination point candidates based on the received priority determination conditions.

[0087] Furthermore, the destination point generation unit 3710 can generate one or more destination point candidates based on the received user classification attribute when receiving input of the user classification attribute from the user information acquisition unit 3600. For example, priority determination conditions corresponding to the user classification attribute are registered in advance, the priority determination conditions are determined based on the received user classification attribute, and one or more destination point candidates are generated based on the priority determination conditions.

[0088] In addition, the destination point generation unit 3710 can generate one or more candidate destination points based on the disaster type of a disaster in an area or road determined by the current situation determination unit 3200 or the future prediction unit 3300, or information on the disaster type acquired from the external disaster information provision system 4100 via the disaster information acquisition unit 3130.

[0089] As an example of the destination point generation unit 3710 determining a destination point based on the disaster type, for example, if the type of disaster predicted in the future is a tsunami, it can generate candidates for destination points located on high ground away from the coast where the tsunami will not reach. Also, if the type of disaster currently or predicted in the future is a flood, it can generate candidates for destination points located on high ground away from rivers.

[0090] Furthermore, if the current or predicted disaster type is an eruption, it is possible to generate candidate destination points that are at least a predetermined distance away from the crater. Furthermore, if the current or predicted disaster type is an earthquake, it is possible to generate candidate destination points that allow evacuation along roads with few buildings and wide sidewalks. Furthermore, if the disaster that has already occurred is a collapse due to an earthquake, it is possible to generate candidate destination points that are at least a predetermined distance away from the collapsed area, since there is a possibility of a fire breaking out in the collapsed area. Furthermore, if the current or predicted disaster type is a landslide, it is possible to generate candidate destination points that are located on flat ground to avoid further damage from landslides.

[0091] Furthermore, the destination point generation unit 3710 can generate one or more candidate destination points according to the current or future travel time along the road calculated by the travel time calculation unit 3400, in addition to the information on the starting point position and status.

[0092] Next, the travel route generation unit 3720 generates one or more candidate travel routes to be proposed to the user in accordance with the information on the starting point location and the status described above. Furthermore, the travel route generation unit 3720 can generate one or more candidate travel routes based on information on at least one of the destination attribute, priority determination criteria, and user classification attribute received by the user information acquisition unit 3600, in addition to the information on the starting point location and the status.

[0093] Furthermore, when the travel route generation unit 3720 receives input of priority determination conditions from the user information acquisition unit 3600, it can generate one or more travel route candidates based on the received priority determination conditions.

[0094] Furthermore, the travel route generation unit 3720 can generate one or more travel route candidates based on the received user classification attributes when receiving input of the user classification attributes from the user information acquisition unit 3600. For example, priority determination conditions corresponding to the user classification attributes are registered in advance, the priority determination conditions are determined based on the received user classification attributes, and one or more travel route candidates are generated based on the priority determination conditions.

[0095] Furthermore, the travel route generation unit 3720 can generate one or more candidate travel routes according to the current or future travel time around the road calculated by the travel time calculation unit 3400, in addition to the information on the starting point position and status.

[0096] Next, the proposed information output unit 3730 is a functional unit that transmits at least one of one or more candidate destination points generated by the destination point generation unit 3710 and one or more candidate travel routes generated by the travel route generation unit 3720 to the crisis response on-site command system 5000, the user terminal device 6000, or the material transportation personnel terminal device 7000, and displays them on the display units of these devices.

[0097] In addition to the information related to the destination points and candidate travel routes described above, the proposed information output unit 3730 can also display at least one of the status of areas and roads related to the destination points and travel routes determined by the current situation determination unit 3200 and the future prediction unit 3300, or the status of areas surrounding the destination points and travel routes.

[0098] (A-1-5-7. Update information notification section 3800) When the current or future status determined by the current status determination unit 3200 or the future prediction unit 3300 changes, the update information notification unit 3800 transmits notification information regarding the change in status to the crisis response on-site command system 5000, the user terminal device 6000, or the material transportation related person terminal device 7000, and can output the notification information from the display unit of these devices.

[0099] Furthermore, when at least one of the destination point and the travel route is updated by the proposal information generation unit 3700, or when the status of the area or the road related to at least one of the destination point and the travel route is updated (for example, when the safety level is reduced), the update information notification unit 3800 can transmit notification information related to the update to the crisis response on-site command system 5000, the user terminal device 6000, or the goods transportation related person terminal device 7000, and output the notification information from the display unit of these devices. Preferably, the update information can be notified to terminal devices that may be affected by the updated destination point, travel route, or status.

[0100] In addition, when people flow information for the target area determined by the people flow determination unit 3230 is generated, or when the people flow information determined by the people flow determination unit 3230 is updated, the update information notification unit 3800 transmits the latest people flow information to the crisis response on-site command system 5000, the user terminal device 6000, or the material transportation related person terminal device 7000, and can output the notification information from the display unit of these devices.

[0101] (A-1-6. Crisis Response On-Site Command System 5000) 6 is a system configuration diagram of a crisis response on-site command system 5000.

[0109] (A-1-9. Hardware Configuration) 10 is a hardware configuration diagram of a route guidance system 3000 and the like. The data acquisition system 1000, spatial information data utilization system 2000, route guidance system 3000, external system 4000, crisis response on-site command system 5000, user terminal device 6000, and goods transporter terminal device 7000, which constitute the information control system 1 of the present invention, are information processing devices such as a server device or a PC.

[0115] (A-1-10. Control flow of information control system 1) Next, the control flow of the entire information control system 1 will be described. Fig. 11 is a flowchart showing the processing flow of the information control system 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention. First, the information import unit 3100 imports information from each system (step 101). Specifically, measurement data measured by the data acquisition system 1000 is acquired, a GIS integrated image generated by the spatial information data utilization system 2000 is acquired, and disaster information, ground camera information, geographic information, local government information, etc. are acquired from the external system 4000.

[0116] Next, the current status determination unit 3200 and future prediction unit 3300 determine the current and future statuses of areas or roads at least part of which are included in the target area (step 102).

[0117] Next, the travel time calculation unit 3400 calculates the estimated travel time required to travel the road now or in the future for each road at least a part of which is included in the target area (step 103).

[0118] Next, the start point position acquisition unit 3500 acquires information about the start point position of the movement (step 104).

[0119] Next, the user information acquisition unit 3600 acquires user input information such as that shown in FIG. 16 from various terminal devices used by the user (step 105).

[0120] Next, the destination point generating unit 3710 generates the destination point (step 106).

[0121] Next, the travel route generating unit 3720 generates a travel route from the starting point to the destination point (step 107).

[0122] Next, the proposed information output unit 3730 displays and outputs the proposed information of the destination point and travel route generated by the destination point generation unit 3710 and travel route generation unit 3720 (step 108).

[0123] Next, the updated information notification unit 3800 notifies the updated information of the status, destination point, travel route or people flow information (step 109).

[0124] (A-1-11. Detailed status determination process flow) 17 is a flowchart showing the process flow of the current status determination unit 3200 and the future prediction unit 3300.

[0125] First, the current state determination unit 3200 performs image analysis and the like on the GIS integrated image to perform interpretation processing (step 201).

[0126] Next, the current situation determination unit 3200 performs an image analysis of the ground camera image and performs an interpretation process (step 202).

[0127] Next, the current situation determination unit 3200 performs a process of interpreting the disaster information (step 203).

[0128] Next, the area situation determination unit 3210 of the current status determination unit 3200 determines the current status of each area based on the results of the interpretations executed in steps 201 to 203 (step 204).

[0129] Next, the road condition determining unit 3220 of the current status determining unit 3200 determines the current status of each road based on the results of the interpretations executed in steps 201 to 203 (step 205).

[0130] Next, the area status prediction unit 3310 of the future prediction unit 3300 predicts the future status of each area based on the interpretation results executed in steps 201 to 203 or the current status determination result for each area (step 206).

[0131] Next, the road condition prediction unit 3320 of the future prediction unit 3300 predicts the future status of each road based on the interpretation results executed in steps 201 to 203 or the current status determination results for each road (step 207).

[0132] (A-1-12. Status determination results) Next, the determination results of the status determination process shown in Fig. 17 will be described with reference to Figs. 18, 19, and 20. Fig. 18 is a diagram showing an example of the status determination results for each area by the current situation determination unit 3200 and the future prediction unit 3300. Fig. 19 is a diagram showing an example of the status determination results for each road by the current situation determination unit 3200 and the future prediction unit 3300.

[0133] In the example shown in Figure 18, information on current disasters, predicted future disasters, the probability of predicted disasters occurring, and safety levels is determined for each area. For example, in the "XX district" area, the current status is determined to be damage caused by an earthquake and a fire has occurred, and the future predicted status is that damage caused by an earthquake and fires will continue. In addition, the probability of a predicted future disaster occurring is determined to be 100%, and the safety level is determined to be "1."

[0134] The example shown in Figure 19 shows an example in which information on current failures or usage history, predicted future failures, the probability of predicted failures occurring, and safety level is determined for each road. For example, for the road "National Route XX," the current failure status is determined to be impassable due to a bridge collapse, and the predicted future status is that the impassability will continue. In addition, the predicted probability of future failures occurring is determined to be 100%, and the safety level is determined to be "1."

[0135] Fig. 20 is a diagram showing an example of a display screen of the status determination results by the current situation determination unit 3200 and the future prediction unit 3300. The example shown in Fig. 20 shows an example in which the status determination results for each of a plurality of areas (XX district, △△ district, XX district, □□ district) and the status determination results for each of a plurality of roads (National Highway No. XX, National Highway No. △△, National Highway No. XX) are displayed in association with their respective positions on a map image of the target area. In this way, by displaying the status determination results by the current situation determination unit 3200 and the future prediction unit 3300 on a map image, the user can more easily grasp the status within the target area and its positional relationship.

[0136] (A-1-13. Calculation method for travel time) Next, a method for calculating the travel time will be described with reference to Fig. 21. Fig. 21 is a flowchart showing the process flow of the travel time calculation unit 3400.

[0137] First, the travel time calculation unit 3400 divides the roads at least part of which is included in the target area into a plurality of sections (step 301).

[0138] Next, the current status of the area adjacent to the divided road section or the section itself is acquired from the current status determination unit 3200 (step 302).

[0139] Next, the past travel history information for the divided road sections during normal times is acquired (step 303). Here, the travel history information includes, for example, information on whether the road is passable, the time taken to pass through, the travel speed, etc.

[0140] Next, the actual travel history information during the disaster for sections other than the divided road sections is acquired (step 304). Here, the actual travel history information includes, for example, information on whether the road is passable, the time taken to pass, the travel speed, etc.

[0141] Next, people flow information in the area adjacent to the divided road section is acquired from the people flow determination unit 3230 (step 305).

[0142] Next, the current travel time is calculated for each divided road section (step 306). Here, the current travel time can be calculated based on at least one of the status, past travel history data, and current pedestrian flow information acquired in steps 302 to 305. For example, a travel time calculation formula corresponding to the area and current status of the road related to the calculation target section is determined in advance, and the travel time can be calculated using this calculation formula. In another example, the travel time can also be calculated using real-time information on the flow of pedestrians currently passing through the calculation target section.

[0143] Next, the future predicted status of the area adjacent to the divided road section or the section itself is acquired from the future prediction unit 3300 (step 307).

[0144] Next, a predicted value of future travel time is calculated for each divided road section (step 308). Here, the predicted value of future travel time can be calculated based on at least one of the past traffic history data information and pedestrian flow information acquired in steps 303 to 305 and the future prediction status information acquired in step 306. Therefore, travel time for each section can be predicted from current pedestrian flow information, and travel time can be predicted based on the traffic history of the section in question under normal circumstances and the traffic history of other sections during disasters. Furthermore, travel time can be estimated more accurately by taking into account the influence on travel time of the area and road status related to the calculation target section. Note that if updated information on the pedestrian flow information for the calculation target section can be acquired after the travel time has been predicted, the calculated travel time can be updated based on the pedestrian flow information.

[0145] (A-1-14. How to determine the destination point) Next, a method of determining a destination point executed by the destination point generating unit 3710 will be described with reference to FIGS.

[0146] (A-1-14-1. Destination point determination process flow) FIG. 22 is a flowchart showing the processing flow of the destination point generation unit 3710.

[0147] First, it is determined whether or not a destination point designation input has been acquired via the user information acquisition unit 3600 (step 401). If a destination point designation input has been acquired, the process proceeds to step 411; if not, the process proceeds to step 402.

[0148] Next, the destination attribute is determined based on the designated input of the destination attribute acquired via the user information acquisition unit 3600 (step 402).

[0149] Next, candidate destination points corresponding to the determined destination attributes are read out (step 403). For example, one or more candidate points corresponding to the determined destination attributes (such as a shelter) are read out based on pre-acquired municipal information, geographic information, etc.

[0150] Next, it is determined whether or not a user classification attribute specification input has been acquired via the user information acquisition unit 3600 (step 404). If a user classification attribute specification input has been acquired, the process proceeds to step 405; if not, the process proceeds to step 406.

[0151] Next, one or more candidate destination points are determined based on the user classification attributes (step 405). For example, if the user classification attributes are elderly, pregnant, young children, injured, etc., the destination point is determined with priority given to distance and physical strength so that walking is easier. On the other hand, if the user classification attributes are able-bodied, adult, etc., for whom walking is considered easy, the destination point is determined with priority given to safety and time. Furthermore, if the user classification attribute is that the means of transportation is a vehicle, the destination point is determined with priority given to time and fuel saving.

[0152] Next, it is determined whether or not a designated input for priority determination conditions has been acquired via the user information acquisition unit 3600 (step 406). If a designated input for priority determination conditions has been acquired, the process proceeds to step 407; if not, the process proceeds to step 408.

[0153] Next, one or more candidates for the destination point are determined based on the designated and input priority determination conditions (step 407).

[0154] Next, one or more candidate destination points are determined based on the status of each area or road determined by the current situation determination unit 3200 (step 408). For example, based on the status determination results by the current situation determination unit 3200 and the future prediction unit 3300 as shown in Fig. 18 and Fig. 19, one or more candidate destination points are determined that satisfy conditions such as being located in an area determined to be safe, or being able to travel through an area or road determined to be safe, etc.

[0155] Next, one or more destination point candidates are displayed on the display unit of each terminal device via the proposed information output unit 3730, and a destination point selection input is received from the user via the selection input acquisition unit 3620 (step 409).

[0156] Next, the destination point is confirmed based on the user's selection input received via the selection input acquisition unit 3620 (step 410).

[0157] (A-1-14-2. Example of multiple destination locations) Fig. 23 is a diagram showing an example of the results of reading out destination point candidates within the target area by the destination point generation unit 3710. In particular, Fig. 23 shows an example in which multiple destination point candidates that match the destination attribute (shelter or alternative evacuation location) read out in step 403 of Fig. 22 are displayed on a map.

[0158] In the example shown in FIG. 23, the starting point is shown in the center of the map, and seven locations within the target area that are evacuation shelters or alternative evacuation locations are shown.

[0159] (A-1-14-3. Example of displaying the results of multiple destination location candidates) 24 and 25 show examples of displaying the determination results of multiple destination point candidates determined based on different user input information. The user can select any destination point on the display screen shown in FIG. 24 or 25 via the selection input acquisition unit 3620.

[0160] Fig. 24 is a diagram showing an example of a display screen of destination point candidates determined by the destination point generation unit 3710. In particular, Fig. 24 shows on a map the locations of multiple destination point candidates determined as candidates when "walking" is input as the means of transportation and "distance priority" is input as the priority determination condition in the user input information. In the example shown in Fig. 24, because "walking" and "distance priority" are accepted as user input information, destination points that are relatively close and easy to travel to by walking from among the multiple destination point candidates shown in Fig. 23 are determined as candidate points.

[0161] Fig. 25 is a diagram showing an example of a display screen of other destination point candidates determined by the destination point generation unit 3710. In particular, Fig. 25 shows on a map the locations of multiple destination point candidates determined as candidates when "vehicle" is entered as the means of transportation and "time priority" is entered as the priority determination condition in the user input information. In the example shown in Fig. 25, since "vehicle" and "time priority" are accepted as user input information, of the multiple destination point candidates shown in Fig. 23, destination points that have a relatively short travel time when traveling by vehicle are determined as candidate points.

[0162] Figures 24 and 25 show examples in which the locations of multiple destination point candidates, the starting point location, and status information for each area and each road are displayed on a map. In addition to this information, detailed status information for each area and each road (such as area location, current disaster type, predicted disaster type, predicted disaster occurrence probability, safety level, etc.) as shown in Figures 18 and 19, as well as hazard map information included in local government information, etc., may also be superimposed on the map.

[0163] In addition, the user can change the selected means of transportation or priority determination conditions on the display screen shown in Figures 24 and 25 via the user request receiving unit 3610, and when the selected means of transportation or priority determination conditions are changed, the destination point generation unit 3710 can re-display, via the proposed information output unit 3730, the destination point candidates that have been re-determined in accordance with the changed user input conditions.

[0164] (A-1-15. Method for determining travel route) Next, a method of determining a travel route executed by the travel route generating unit 3720 will be described with reference to FIGS.

[0165] (A-1-15-1. Processing flow for determining travel route) FIG. 26 is a flowchart showing the processing flow of the travel path generating unit 3720.

[0166] First, one or more candidates for a travel route connecting the start point position and the destination point are generated (step 501). Specifically, the travel route candidates are generated based on the start point position acquired by the start point position acquisition unit 3500, the destination point determined by the destination point generation unit 3710, and each piece of geographic information such as roads in the area including the start point position and the destination point.

[0167] Next, it is determined whether or not a user classification attribute specification input has been acquired via the user information acquisition unit 3600 (step 502). If a user classification attribute specification input has been acquired, the process proceeds to step 503; if not, the process proceeds to step 504.

[0168] Next, the priority determination conditions are determined based on the designated input of the user classification attribute acquired via the user information acquisition unit 3600 (step 503). For example, if the user classification attribute is elderly, pregnant, infant, injured, etc., the priority determination conditions are determined to be distance-priority or physical strength-priority so that walking is easier. Alternatively, if the user classification attribute is able-bodied, adult, etc., for whom walking is considered easy, the priority determination conditions are determined to be safety-priority or time-priority. Alternatively, if a vehicle is designated as the means of transportation in the user classification attribute, the priority determination conditions can be determined to be time-priority or fuel-saving-priority.

[0169] Next, the priority determination conditions are determined based on the priority determination conditions acquired via the user information acquisition unit 3600 (step 504).

[0170] Next, one or more candidate travel routes are determined (step 505) based on the determined priority determination condition and the status of each area or road determined by the current situation determination unit 3200 and the future prediction unit 3300. As an example, if the priority determination condition is "time priority," candidates including the travel route with the shortest travel time are determined from among travel routes with area and road safety levels of "3" or higher, roads that are passable, and no traffic jams.

[0171] As another example, if the priority determination condition is "distance priority," candidates are determined that include a travel route with the shortest travel distance among travel routes where the area and road safety level is "3" or higher and the road is passable.

[0172] As another example, when the priority determination condition is "safety first," candidates are determined from travel routes with area and road safety ratings of "8" or higher and passable roads. When determining a travel route with safety first, priority may be given to sections of roads with a high history of travel based on current pedestrian flow information. Furthermore, areas or roads with no infrastructure disruptions and good public safety conditions may be determined as travel routes, taking into consideration the state of infrastructure disruptions (such as power outages) and public safety conditions for each area or road determined by the current situation determination unit 3200 and the future prediction unit 3300.

[0173] Next, one or more candidate travel routes are displayed on the display unit of each terminal device via the proposed information output unit 3730, and a selection input of a travel route is accepted from the user via the selection input acquisition unit 3620 (step 506).

[0174] Next, the travel route is confirmed based on the user's selection input received via the selection input acquisition unit 3620 (step 507).

[0175] (A-1-15-2. Example of displaying the results of determining multiple travel route candidates) 27, 28, and 29 show examples of display results of determining multiple candidate routes from the starting point to the destination point "AA Junior High School" based on different user input information. The user can select any route on the display screens shown in FIGS. 27, 28, and 29 via the selection input acquisition unit 3620.

[0176] Fig. 27 is a diagram showing an example of a display screen of travel route candidates determined by the travel route generation unit 3720. In particular, Fig. 27 shows on a map multiple travel route candidate routes determined as candidates when "walking" is input as the means of transportation and "distance priority" is input as the priority determination condition in the user input information. In the example shown in Fig. 27, since "distance priority" is accepted as the user input information, the travel route shown in a solid line with the shortest relative travel distance from the starting point position to AA Junior High School is displayed as a suggested candidate.

[0177] The travel route shown in Figure 27 passes through a congested section of National Route XX, which may result in a long travel time. Also, as shown in Figure 18, the route passes through the XX district, which has been damaged and has a safety level of 5, and then passes near the △△ district, which has been damaged and is predicted to have a safety level of 3, meaning that the route passes through an area with a low level of safety. However, because "distance priority" has been selected as the priority criteria, the proposed route is displayed with priority given to travel distance over travel time and safety.

[0178] Fig. 28 is a diagram showing an example of a display screen of other travel route candidates determined by the travel route generation unit 3720. In particular, Fig. 28 shows on a map travel route candidate routes determined as candidates when "walking" is input as the means of transportation and "time priority" is input as the priority determination condition in the user input information. In the example shown in Fig. 28, since "time priority" is accepted as the user input information, the travel route indicated by a solid line that has the shortest relative travel time from the starting point position to AA Junior High School is displayed as a suggested candidate.

[0179] The travel route shown in Figure 28 is a "time-first" route, which bypasses congested sections of "National Route XX" to shorten travel time. As a result, the travel distance is longer than the travel route shown in Figure 27. Also, as shown in Figure 18, the route passes through an area with a low safety level because it passes near the "△△ District," which has a safety level of "3" and is predicted to be damaged and fires will break out. However, because "time-first" has been selected as the priority determination condition, the proposed candidate is displayed with travel time given priority over travel distance and safety.

[0180] Fig. 29 is a diagram showing an example of a display screen of other travel route candidates determined by the travel route generation unit 3720. In particular, Fig. 29 shows on a map travel route candidate routes determined as candidates when "walking" is input as the means of transportation and "safety first" is input as the priority determination condition in the user input information. In the example shown in Fig. 29, since "time first" is accepted as the user input information, the travel route indicated by a solid line that has the highest relative safety from the starting point position to AA Junior High School is displayed as a suggested candidate.

[0181] The travel route shown in Figure 29 is a "safety priority" route, and is therefore a safer route that does not pass through the vicinity of the "XX district" where damage has occurred and has a safety level of "5", or the "△△ district" where damage has occurred and a fire is predicted to break out and has a safety level of "3". As a result, the travel distance and travel time are expected to be longer than the travel routes shown in Figures 27 and 28, but because "safety priority" has been selected as the priority determination condition, the proposed route candidates that are determined to prioritize the safety of the travel route over travel distance and travel time are displayed.

[0182] In addition, the user can change the selected means of transportation or priority determination conditions on the display screens shown in Figures 27, 28, and 29 via the user request receiving unit 3610, and when the selected means of transportation or priority determination conditions are changed, the travel route generation unit 3720 can re-display, via the proposed information output unit 3730, travel route candidates that have been re-determined in accordance with the changed user input conditions.

[0183] Figures 27, 28, and 29 show examples in which the location of the destination point, the location of the starting point, and status information for each area and each road are displayed on a map. In addition to this information, detailed status information for each area and each road (such as area location, current disaster type, predicted disaster type, predicted disaster occurrence probability, safety level, etc.) as shown in Figures 18 and 19, as well as hazard map information included in local government information, etc., may also be superimposed on the map.

[0184] Furthermore, as a method for displaying proposed travel route candidates or confirmed travel routes, it is also possible to use AR (augmented reality) display, in which information about the travel route is superimposed on an image of the real space.

[0185] (A-1-16. Example of displaying people flow information) Next, a display example of updated information of people flow information will be described. Fig. 30 is a diagram showing an example of a display screen of people flow information notified by the updated information notification unit 3800.
