Abstract: Proposed is an information collection system and method capable of reliably collecting information even from sensors installed at locations where a vehicle cannot pass through, and also promptly collecting information of urgent nature. Each sensor not positioned on a route travelled by a travel vehicle transmits, to sensors of a subsequent stage in multihop wireless communication preset so that information is aggregated in a predetermined sensor positioned on the route travelled by the travel vehicle, information transmitted from sensors of a preceding stage in the multihop wireless communication, as well as its own information, and the sensor positioned on the route travelled by the travel vehicle transmits the aggregated information to a receiver.
