• the management device comprising a control unit and a storage unit,
• wherein the storage unit associates and stores the identifier of each of a plurality of cameras provided corresponding to each of a plurality of vehicle doors to capture the outside of the corresponding vehicle door, and the initial position indicating on which side, A side or B side, each of the plurality of cameras is located, and
• wherein, after obtaining door opening-side information indicating that the vehicle door on the B side opens when the train stops as well as open door identification information identifying the open door, the control unit determines a camera, the initial position of which is on the B side, as a display use camera, which is the camera to be used for display, with respect to a matching vehicle in which the initial position of door-open camera, which is the camera corresponding to the open door identified by the open door identification information, and the door opening-side information match with the B side, while determining a camera, the initial position of which is on the A side, as the display use camera, with respect to a vehicle in which the initial position of the door-open camera and the door opening-side information do not match with the B side.
