  • Patent number: 11709062
    Abstract: A boarding/deboarding point providing system includes a probe vehicle group, a data server, and an on-board unit or a mobile terminal. When vehicle data transmitted from the probe vehicle group are input, the data server extracts a boarding/deboarding point suitable for boarding a vehicle or deboarding a vehicle from the vehicle data, and stores the point while updating the boarding/deboarding point information database. When a request for boarding/deboarding point information is received from the on-board unit or the mobile terminal, the boarding/deboarding point information stored in the boarding/deboarding point information database is searched for a boarding/deboarding point that meets the request conditions, and the search result that includes the boarding/deboarding point is transmitted to the on-board unit or the mobile terminal.
