Failed vehicle estimation system, failed vehicle estimation method and computer-readable non-transitory storage medium

A failed vehicle estimation method comprising:

• storing
• (i) vehicle information including vehicle ID information of a plurality of vehicles and including positional information of the plurality of the vehicles, the vehicle information being acquired from the plurality of the vehicles, and
• (ii) at least one image being obtained by imaging an outside of the plurality of the vehicles with a camera mounted in each of the plurality of the vehicles, or vehicle failure information being obtained from at least one specific image among at least one image;
• specifying, based on the stored vehicle information, at least one specific vehicle, the at least one specific vehicle existing on a periphery of a mounting position of a specific camera, the specific camera having captured the at least one specific image, the at least one specific image being an image from which the failure information of the failed vehicle is obtained;
• estimating a failed vehicle from among the at least one specific vehicle;
• and
• notifying the vehicle failure information to a terminal apparatus mounted in the estimated failed vehicle, wherein
• when (i) the at least one specific image includes a plurality of specific images each being captured by a camera mounted on one different vehicle of the plurality of vehicles, and (ii) the vehicle failure information includes a plurality of pieces of vehicle failure information each piece being obtained from one different specific image of the plurality of specific images, the at least one specific vehicle includes a plurality of groups of specific vehicles, each group being specified for one different piece of vehicle failure information of the plurality of pieces of vehicle failure information, and
• the method further comprises estimating, as the failed vehicle, a vehicle appearing in the plurality of specific images in a duplicate manner from among the plurality of groups of specific vehicles when each piece of vehicle failure information of the plurality of pieces of vehicle failure information is failure information for the failed vehicle.
