Abstract
A roadside portion traffic amount calculation device includes an acquisition unit that acquires positional information, a distribution determination unit that refers to road information stored in a road information storage unit and, based on a positional relationship between locations of users indicated by the positional information and a road, determines a passage roadside portion that is a roadside portion in which the locations of the users are distributed for each piece of the positional information, a summarizing unit that counts the number of pieces of the positional information for which the passage roadside portion has been determined by the distribution determination unit for each of the roadside portions and summarizes a roadside portion traffic amount that is an amount of user traffic on each of the roadside portions, and a processing result output unit that outputs the roadside portion traffic amount summarized by the summarizing unit.

11. A roadside portion traffic amount calculation device that, based on positional information indicating locations of users, calculates a number of users of mobile terminals moving on each roadside portion positioned on both ends in a width direction of a road, the roadside portion traffic amount calculation device comprising:
-
a positional information acquisition section configured to acquire one or more pieces of the positional information; a positional information distribution determination section configured to refer to road information that is information regarding the road and, based on a positional relationship between the locations of the users indicated by the positional information and the road, determine a passage roadside portion that is a roadside portion in which the locations of the users are distributed for each piece of the positional information; a positional information summarizing section configured to count a number of pieces of the positional information for which the passage roadside portion has been determined by the positional information distribution determination section for each of the roadside portions, and summarize a roadside portion traffic amount that is an amount of user traffic on each of the roadside portions; a processing result output section configured to output the roadside portion traffic amount summarized by the positional information summarizing section; and a map matching processing section, wherein the road information includes information regarding location of the road; the map matching processing section, based on the information regarding the location of the road included in the road information, performs a map matching process on the positional information acquired by the positional information acquisition section, and extracts the positional information that is associated with a road the roadside portion traffic amount of which is to be summarized; and the positional information distribution determination section determines the passage roadside portion of the positional information extracted by the map matching processing section. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A roadside portion traffic amount calculation method for, based on positional information indicating locations of users, calculating a number of users moving on each roadside portion positioned on both ends in a width direction of a road, the roadside portion traffic amount calculation method comprising:
-
a positional information acquiring step of acquiring one or more pieces of the positional information; a positional information distribution determination step of referring to road information that is information regarding the road and, based on a positional relationship between the locations of the users indicated by the positional information and the road, determining a passage roadside portion that is a roadside portion in which the locations of the users are distributed for each piece of the positional information; a positional information summarizing step of counting a number of pieces of the positional information for which the passage roadside portion has been determined at the positional information distribution determination step for each of the roadside portions and summarizing a roadside portion traffic amount that is an amount of user traffic on each of the roadside portions; a processing result output step of outputting the roadside portion traffic amount summarized at the positional information summarizing step, the road information including information regarding location of the road; and a map matching processing step of, based on the information regarding the location of the road included in the road information, performing a map matching process on the positional information acquired at the positional information acquisition step and extracting the positional information that is associated with a road the roadside portion traffic amount of which is to be summarized, wherein at the positional information distribution determination step, the passage roadside portion of the positional information extracted at the map matching processing step is determined.
