A vehicle information management device comprising:
- a processor, wherein the processor is configured to:
- acquire a width of a user;
- before a vehicle arrives at a planned vehicle boarding area of the user, acquire road surface information of the planned vehicle boarding area;
- based on the road surface information, determine whether or not a road surface height of a planned vehicle boarding position, at which the user is waiting at the planned vehicle boarding area, is a height at which a ramp of the vehicle can be deployed;
- in a case in which the road surface height is determined to not be a height at which the ramp can be deployed, propose a change of the planned vehicle boarding position to the user;
- in a case in which the road surface height is determined to be a height at which the ramp can be deployed, determine whether an obstacle is present at the planned vehicle boarding position;
- upon determination that an obstacle is present at the planned vehicle boarding position, determine whether a pair of doors can be opened by a width that enables the user to board the vehicle based on the width of the user;
- upon determination that the pair of doors can be opened by a width that enables the user to board the vehicle, notify the user that the vehicle boarding entrance is narrow;
- and
- after the vehicle arrives at the planned vehicle boarding area, deploy the ramp.
