Abstract: A congestion degree measurement unit measures a congestion degree in each of a plurality of areas in which the electronic currency issued to the user can be used. A value determination unit determines a utility value of the electronic currency in the area, based on the congestion degree measured by the congestion degree measurement unit.

Abstract: Estimating means estimates first characteristic information pertaining to persons present within an area for which an estimation is made, based on first information obtained by tallying signals transmitted from terminal devices of users in the area for which the estimation is made and second information which is statistical information of the area for which the estimation is made. Based on the second characteristic information generated by an analyzing apparatus that analyzes an image, verifying means verifies the first characteristic information estimated by the estimating means. Based on the verification result of the verifying means, correcting means corrects the estimation of the first characteristic information estimated by the estimating means.

Abstract: An on-vehicle apparatus includes an abnormal section determination part that determines a road section having a road surface on which an abnormality is probably present, based on an output value of a sensor mounted on a vehicle, an image selection part that selects an image(s) including the determined road section from a plurality of images shot at predetermined time intervals by a camera mounted on the vehicle, and a transmission part that is able to transmit the selected image(s) to a predetermined server.

Abstract: A data collection apparatus, including: a data reception part that receives sensor data from a vehicle capable of photographing a road surface, the sensor data being acquired by a sensor mounted on the vehicle; and a control part that evaluates a goodness degree of a road surface photographing environment on a basis of the sensor data and control a transmission from the vehicle of a road surface photographed image on a basis of the goodness degree of the road surface photographing environment.

Abstract: A road inspection system comprises: a means that creates a road inspection route including a first road managed by a first road manager and a second road managed by a second road manager which is different from the first road manager; a means that receives inspection data from a vehicle that has traveled along a road inspection route, in which the inspection data is obtained by measurement of pre-set items along the road inspection route; a means that diagnoses a first inspection data, that is included in the inspection data and measured on the first road, using first diagnosis criteria of the first road manager; and a means that diagnoses a second inspection data, that is included in the inspection data and measured on the second road, using second diagnosis criteria of the second road manager.
