Abstract
A terminal is enabled to receive an input manipulation of an engine start request by a user, and communicates with an in-vehicle apparatus mounted in a host vehicle via a wireless communication network. When the input manipulation of the engine start request is made in the terminal, a server functioning as a determination section determines whether the host vehicle exists in an idling prohibition region. The server also functions as a start permission output section. When the host vehicle does not exist in the idling prohibition region, the server outputs a start permission instruction for an engine start apparatus. When the host vehicle exists in the idling prohibition region, any start permission instruction is not outputted.
