摘要:
Conventionally, different traffic information cannot be sent in accordance with an output reason of a request to send. According to the present invention, a request to send traffic information, which is output in response to an instruction given by a user operation or an automatically given instruction, is acquired, an output reason of the request to send is determined, and a communication unit is controlled so that the traffic information on different areas is sent depending on the cases where the output reason is the instruction given by the user operation or the automatically given instruction.

Disclosed is a traffic information generation method for generating traffic information for each link, the method including a vehicle speed detection step of detecting a vehicle speed at predetermined distance intervals or at predetermined time intervals using a vehicle speed sensor; and a traffic jam degree detection step of referring to a specified speed and a specified distance prescribed in association with a traffic jam degree representing a level of a traffic jam and a connection determination distance prescribed in accordance with a road type to detect the traffic jam degree corresponding to the vehicle speed. When a link length falls within a predetermined range, information on the traffic jam degree corresponding to a fastest vehicle speed within a prescribed starting point distance from a beginning of the link is allocated to the link.

When a vehicle passes through an intersection that is stored in a collection target intersection database and for which direction-specific probe information is collected, a CPU of a navigation device generates a plurality of direction-specific probe information (entry link, exit link, section travel time, and the like) from a plurality of unit distance section information that is collected within a direction-specific traffic information acquisition section until the vehicle passes through the intersection, an entry link traveled before entering the intersection; and an exit link traveled after passing through the intersection, and transmits these to an information distribution center.

According to the present invention, information which is associated with a motion of a vehicle can be acquired even in the case where no vehicle travels on a road. Motion information, which is associated with the motion of the vehicle on the road where the vehicle traveled, is acquired along with time information. Reference traffic information, which is traffic information on the road at a reference time which is specified by the time information, is acquired from a traffic information providing device which constantly provides the traffic information. A correlation between the motion information and the reference traffic information is specified. Furthermore, estimated motion information, which indicates an estimated motion of the vehicle on the road at an estimate time when the motion is estimated, is acquired based on estimating source traffic information at the estimate time and the correlation, the estimating source traffic information being provided as the traffic information of the estimating source from the traffic information providing device in the case where no motion information is acquired at the estimate time.
