  • Publication number: 20240025419
    Abstract: An information collection system corrects vehicle state information of each of a plurality of vehicles. Identification information and the vehicle state information is transmitted by a first transmitter, the identification information being information based on which a target vehicle is specified from among the vehicles. Disclosure position information and the identification information are transmitted by a second transmitter, the disclosure position information being set as position information on the target vehicle based on (i) alternative position information indicating a position of the target vehicle in an alternative manner and (ii) disclosure information indicating a disclosure range to disclose the alternative position information.
