Abstract
A navigation device mounted in a vehicle determines a traffic condition when the vehicle travels in a road zone along a facility, and determines whether a payment terminal mounted in the vehicle has made a payment through communication with a facility terminal installed in the facility. If it is determined that a payment has been made through communication, then probe data is generated that associates the traffic condition in the road zone with a payment service of the facility.
Claims5
A traffic information processing system, comprising:
- a traffic condition determination unit determining a traffic condition when a vehicle travels in a road zone along a facility;
- a vehicle behavior determination unit determining whether a payment terminal mounted in the vehicle traveling in the road zone along the facility has made a payment through communication with a facility terminal installed in the facility or whether an ignition switch of the vehicle is turned off:
- a congestion factor setting unit setting a congestion factor to a drive-through wait when it is determined that a payment has been made through communication and setting the congestion factor to a parking lot wait when it is determined that the ignition switch of the vehicle has been turned off;
- and
- a traffic information generation unit generating traffic information that associates the traffic condition in the road zone with a name of the facility and the set congestion factor.
A statistical processing device, comprising:
- a probe information acquisition unit obtaining probe information from an onboard device;
- a traffic condition determination unit determining a traffic condition in a road zone along a facility based on the probe information;
- a vehicle behavior determination unit determining whether a payment terminal mounted in a vehicle traveling in the road zone along the facility has made a payment through communication with a facility terminal installed in the facility or whether an ignition switch of the vehicle is turned off;
- a congestion factor setting unit setting a congestion factor to a drive-through wait when it is determined that a payment has been made through communication and setting the congestion factor to a parking lot wait when it is determined that the ignition switch of the vehicle has been turned off;
- and
- a traffic information generation unit generating traffic information that associates the traffic condition in the road zone with a name of the facility and the set congestion factor.
A traffic information processing method for generating traffic information using a control unit that determines a traffic condition in a road zone along a facility, the traffic information processing method, comprising:
- determining, with the control unit, whether a payment terminal mounted in a vehicle traveling in the road zone along the facility has made a payment through communication with a facility terminal installed in the facility or whether an ignition switch of the vehicle is turned off
- setting, with the control unit, a congestion factor to a drive-through wait when it is determined that a payment has been made through communication and setting the congestion factor to a parking lot wait when it is determined that the ignition switch of the vehicle has been turned off;
- and
- generating, with the control unit, the traffic information that associates the traffic condition in the road zone with a name of the facility and the set congestion factor.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a computer-executable traffic information processing program for generating traffic information by determining a traffic condition in a road zone along a facility, the traffic information processing program comprising:
- instructions for determining whether a payment terminal mounted in a vehicle traveling in the road zone along the facility has made a payment through communication with a facility terminal installed in the facility or whether an ignition switch of the vehicle is turned off;
- instructions for setting a congestion factor to a drive-through wait when it is determined that a payment has been made through communication and setting the congestion factor to a parking lot wait when it is determined that the ignition switch of the vehicle has been turned off;
- and
- instructions for generating the traffic information that associates the traffic condition in the road zone with a name of the facility and the set congestion factor.
