Abstract: Vehicle data is acquired, and is linked with each vehicle component, first degree of abnormality is determined for each vehicle component. When detecting collision, vehicle data is acquired during self-travelling after the collision. If vehicle is not capable of self-travelling, by referring to post-collision vehicle data etc., second degree of abnormality after the collision is calculated. The first and second degrees of abnormality are compared, if the second degree of abnormality is greater than the first degree of abnormality by a predetermined value or more, vehicle component is identified as vehicle component which is outside an impact area, but has been affected in terms of deterioration etc., and necessary information is displayed. When there is an intentional driving characteristic change after the collision, vehicle component is not identified as vehicle component having been affected in terms of deterioration etc.
