Abstract: A detection device includes a transmitter, an extraction unit, and a detector. The transmitter causes an ultrasonic sensor used in a vehicle to successively transmit a first transmission wave of a first frequency and a second transmission wave of a second frequency. The extraction unit extracts a frequency component from a reflected wave received by the ultrasonic sensor, the reflected wave having a reception level greater than a predetermined threshold. The detector detects an obstacle based on an extraction result of the component of the frequency. An amplitude level of the second transmission wave is greater than an amplitude level of the first transmission wave. The amplitude level of the first transmission wave is set to make the reception level of the reflected wave of the first transmission wave from a road surface less than or equal to the predetermined threshold. The amplitude level of the second transmission wave is set to make the reception level of the reflected wave of the second transmission wave from a partial area of the road surface greater than the predetermined threshold.

Abstract: An information management device includes a difference extractor and a determination unit. The difference extractor extracts, as difference information, vehicle peripheral three-dimensional information detected by a vehicle and three-dimensional map information. The determination unit determines whether the extracted difference information is a difference inherent to the vehicle.

Abstract: A travel instruction information generation device has a vehicle information acquisition unit, a travel instruction information generator, and a correction information generator. The vehicle information acquisition unit acquires vehicle information representing a specific state of a vehicle. The travel instruction information generator generates travel instruction information with which the vehicle performs self-driving by using three-dimensional map information. The correction information generator generates, on the basis of the vehicle information, correction information for correcting the travel instruction information.
