  • Patent number: 11610477
    Abstract: A vehicle-mounted device includes a data collecting device that collects sensor data from a vehicle sensor, a data transmitting device that transmits the sensor data to a server, a data receiving device that receives data about an outside-vehicle status, and an inside-vehicle/outside-vehicle cooperation device that, in response to receipt of the data about the outside-vehicle status, cooperates with a device outside the vehicle and controls an operation inside the vehicle. The server includes a map creating device that maintains a traffic status overview map on the basis of received sensor data, a vehicle selecting device that selects a vehicle capable of transmitting optimum sensor data for maintaining the traffic status overview map in view of a line status among vehicle-mounted devices present within a specific area, and a transmission permission/prohibition signal transmitting device that transmits an instruction of permitting transmission of sensor data to the vehicle.
