## Abstract

Disclosed herein are a traffic prediction system, a vehicle-mounted display apparatus, a vehicle, and a traffic prediction method. The traffic prediction system includes: a vehicle configured to acquire a driving probability for at least one drivable route; and a server apparatus configured to receive the driving probability for the at least one drivable route from the vehicle, and to calculate a volume of traffic for the at least one drivable route based on the driving probability for the at least one drivable route.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A vehicle-mounted display apparatus, comprising:
a controller configured to acquire a driving probability for at least one route along which a vehicle is able to travel; and
a communication unit configured to transmit the driving probability for the at least one route to a server apparatus.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The vehicle-mounted display apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the communication unit is configured to receive from a server apparatus information about a volume of traffic calculated based on the driving probability for the at least one route.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The vehicle-mounted display apparatus according to claim 2, further comprising a display unit configured to display the information about the volume of traffic.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The vehicle-mounted display apparatus according to claim 3, wherein the display unit is configured to combine the information about the volume of traffic with map information to display the result of the combination.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The vehicle-mounted display apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the controller is configured to calculate a driving probability for each link connected to at least one node, using at least one of a lane change history of the vehicle and driving vectors of the vehicle, to thereby acquire the driving probability for the at least one route.

### Claim 6 (depends on 5)

The vehicle-mounted display apparatus according to claim 5, wherein the controller is configured to calculate a driving probability for at least one link, and is configured to calculate a driving probability for each route using the driving probability for the at least one link.

### Claim 7 (depends on 6)

The vehicle-mounted display apparatus according to claim 6, wherein the controller is configured to calculate the driving probability for each route using an Electronic Horizon (EH) method.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The vehicle-mounted display apparatus according to claim 1, wherein at least one route along which the vehicle is able to travel includes a route existing in a range to which the vehicle is able to travel for a predetermined time period.
