Abstract: A method used in a server includes configurating a dynamic map by superimposing time-changing information on a road onto a static map based on first data indicative of surrounding information acquired by a first sensor mounted in a roadside unit; computing a first region that is incapable of being observed by the first sensor; receiving a plurality of attribute information items related to respective second sensors mounted in respective vehicles running on the road from the vehicles; selecting a specific second sensor from among the second sensors based on the attribute information items and the first region; receiving specific second data acquired by the specific second sensor among a plurality of pieces of second data acquired by the second sensors; reconfigurating the dynamic map by filling the first region by using the specific second data; and distributing the reconfigurated dynamic map to at least one of the vehicles.

Abstract: A roadside device transmits first detection data obtained by a first sensor to a server. The server extracts an unobservable area that is a blind spot of the first sensor, based on the first detection data, and transmits unobservable-area information indicating the unobservable area to a moving terminal. The moving terminal extracts, based on second detection data obtained by a second sensor, second dynamic information indicating an object that exists in a sensing range of the second sensor, and determines whether or not an overlapping area where the unobservable area indicated by the unobservable-area information and the sensing range of the second sensor overlap each other exists. Upon determining that the overlapping area exists, the moving terminal transmits, to the server, third dynamic information that is included in the second dynamic information and that indicates an object that exists in the overlapping area.
