Abstract: A pedestrian protection system includes a plurality of autonomous driving vehicles and a server configured to be able to communicate with each of the autonomous driving vehicles. The server is configured to select at least one vehicle to be moved to the location of a pedestrian from among the autonomous driving vehicles as a pedestrian protection vehicle when a particular situation occurrence notification is received and is configured to send an instruction notification to the pedestrian protection vehicle. The particular situation occurrence notification indicates that the pedestrian is placed in a particular situation. The instruction notification instructs the pedestrian protection vehicle to move to the location of the pedestrian for protecting the pedestrian. Each of the autonomous driving vehicles is configured to move to the location of the pedestrian for protecting the pedestrian when the instruction notification is received.

Abstract: An information collection system includes a plurality of vehicles and a server. The server is configured to, when an event occurrence notification notifying that a specific event has occurred at least together with an event occurrence location is received, select at least one vehicle to move toward the event occurrence location from among the vehicles as an information collection vehicle, and transmit an information collection instruction notification to the information collection vehicle. The vehicles are configured to, when the information collection instruction notification is received, move toward the event occurrence location and collect images captured by a camera while the vehicles are moving as event-related information that is information related to the event.

Abstract: A server includes: a registration unit that registers identification information for identifying a detection target in a storage unit; a detection target determination unit that determines whether the detection target is shown in an image captured on or around a road, based on the identification information; an abnormal behavior determination unit that determines whether the detection target exhibits an abnormal behavior that is different from a normal behavior of the detection target, when the detection target is shown in the image; and an alert transmission unit that transmits an alert when the detection target exhibits the abnormal behavior.

Abstract: An abnormality notification system includes: a vehicle that travels regularly on a predetermined travel route; a communication device configured to be able to communicate with a sensor mounted on the vehicle and an outside, the sensor being a sensor that acquires road data obtained by imaging or measuring a road along the travel route; and a control device. The control device is configured to determine whether an abnormality has occurred on the road along the travel route based on a different part when the road data acquired by the sensor is compared with reference road data obtained by imaging or measuring the road along the travel route in the past, and transmit predetermined abnormality occurrence information to an external client via the communication device when the control device determines that an abnormality has occurred on the road along the travel route.

Abstract: A monitoring device includes: an instruction unit configured to instruct a vehicle to acquire appearance data of a monitoring object designated by a user; a detection unit configured to receive the appearance data from the vehicle and to detect whether a state of the monitoring object has changed based on the appearance data; and a monitoring result notifying unit configured to notify the user of a monitoring result of the monitoring object when the detection unit detects that the state of the monitoring object has changed.

Abstract: A vehicle control device that is provided in a vehicle that runs autonomously includes a detection unit for detecting a rescue target person requiring rescue based on surrounding information of the vehicle acquired by the vehicle, and a vehicle control unit for controlling the vehicle. When the rescue target person is detected by the detection unit, the vehicle control unit performs evacuation control to stop the vehicle such that the rescue target person is able to evacuate from an outside of the vehicle into the vehicle.
