  • Patent number: 10186146
    Abstract: An abnormality detection device of an embodiment includes a traffic control center device to detect an abnormality of vehicle detectors installed in a road network, including: a first traffic management unit that collects detector information including measurement quantities from the vehicle detectors; a statistical processing unit that statistically processes the measurement quantities for each designated period to generate statistical information including statistical values of the measurement quantities; a map information generating unit that generates, based on the statistical values of the measurement quantities of the vehicle detectors that already have been determined to be abnormal by a user, map information representing a distribution situation of the statistical values of the measurement quantities in an abnormal state; and a detector state determination unit that determines, based on the measurement quantities of each vehicle detector to be assessed and the map information in the abnormal state, wh
