Abstract: An environment improvement system includes: a sensor configured to detect a state of pollution by an environmental pollutant; a plurality of vehicles; and a server configured to communicate with the plurality of vehicles. The plurality of vehicles include vehicles including environment improvement devices configured to remove the environmental pollutant. When a pollution level by the environmental pollutant exceeds a threshold value in an area where the sensor is located, the server is configured to select at least a part of the vehicles including the environment improvement devices and cause the selected vehicles to move to the area, and to output a command to execute an environment improvement operation using the environment improvement devices.

Abstract: An information providing system includes a plurality of vehicle, a charging station, and a management server. The management server is configured to communicate with the plurality of vehicles and the charging station. Each of the vehicles allows charging of a power storage device mounted therein using electric power from the charging station and performs inter-vehicle charging for charging another vehicle using electric power of the power storage device. The management server obtains a congestion degree in the charging station and a destination of a vehicle. When a charging station is installed as an annex at a destination of the vehicle, and when the congestion degree exceeds a threshold value, the management server selects a candidate vehicle capable of performing inter-vehicle charging from among other vehicles that aim at a destination identical to the destination of the vehicle, and transmits information about the selected candidate vehicle to the vehicle.
