Traffic Control System, Congestion Control Method, Information Processing Apparatus, and Control Method and Storage Medium Therefor
First Claim
1. A traffic control system for alleviating congestion of a road, the traffic control system comprising:
- a road information database that accumulates road information including congestion degree;
a reservation fee setter that refers to the road information accumulated in the road information database and sets a road passage reservation fee for a user;
a reservation collector that collects a road passage reservation from a user for the road passage reservation fee being set; and
a congestion degree predictor that predicts congestion degree of a road, including a user who passes without making a road passage reservation, by using information of the road passage reservation collected by the reservation collector, actually measured congestion degree data of the past and road traffic information at the time the reservation is made,wherein predicted congestion degree predicted by the congestion degree predictor is used for alleviating congestion of a road.

Abstract
A traffic control system (100) is provided with: a road information database (101) that accumulates road information including congestion degree; a reservation fee setter (102) that refers to the accumulated road information and sets a road passage reservation fee for a user; a reservation collector (103) that collects a road passage reservation from a user for the road passage reservation fee being set; and a congestion degree predictor (104) that predicts congestion degree of a road, including a user who passes without making a road passage reservation, by using information of the collected road passage reservation. The predicted congestion degree is used for alleviating congestion of a road.

7. A congestion control method for alleviating congestion of a road, the congestion control method including:
-
a reservation fee setting step that refers to road information accumulated in a road information database, that accumulates the road information including congestion degree, and sets a road passage reservation fee for a user; a reservation collecting step that collects a road passage reservation from a user for the road passage reservation fee being set; and a congestion degree predicting step that predicts congestion degree of a road, including a user who passes without making a road passage reservation, by using the road passage reservation collected at the reservation collecting step, actually measured congestion degree data of the past and road traffic information at the time the reservation is made, wherein predicted congestion degree predicted at the congestion degree predicting step is used for alleviating congestion of a road.

8. An information processing apparatus in a traffic control system for alleviating congestion of a road, the information processing apparatus comprising:
-
a road information database that accumulates road information including congestion degree; reservation fee setter that refers to the road information accumulated in the road information database and sets a road passage reservation fee for a user; a reservation collector that collects a road passage reservation input by a user via a user terminal for the road passage reservation fee being set; a congestion degree predictor that predicts congestion degree of a road, including a user who passes without making a road passage reservation, by using information of the road passage reservation collected by the reservation collector, actually measured congestion degree data of the past and road traffic information at the time the reservation is made; and an outputer that outputs information of predicted congestion degree predicted by the congestion degree predictor.

9. A control method of an information processing apparatus in a traffic control system for alleviating congestion of a road, the control method of an information processing apparatus including:
-
a reservation fee setting step that refers to road information accumulated in a road information database, that accumulates the road information including congestion degree, and sets a road passage reservation fee for a user; a reservation collecting step that collects a road passage reservation input by a user via a user terminal for the road passage reservation fee being set; a congestion degree predicting step that predicts congestion degree of a road, including a user who passes without making a road passage reservation, by using the road passage reservation collected at the reservation collecting step, actually measured congestion degree data of the past and road traffic information at the time the reservation is made; and an output step that outputs information of predicted congestion degree predicted at the congestion degree predicting step.

10. A computer-readable storage medium storing a control program of an information processing apparatus in a traffic control system for alleviating congestion of a road, the computer-readable storage medium storing the control program causing a computer to function as:
-
a reservation fee setter that refers to road information accumulated in a road information database, that accumulates the road information including congestion degree, and sets a road passage reservation fee for a user; a reservation collector that collects a road passage reservation input by a user via a user terminal for the road passage reservation fee being set; a congestion degree predictor that predicts congestion degree of a road, including a user who passes without making a road passage reservation, by using information of the road passage reservation collected by the reservation collector, actually measured congestion degree data of the past and road traffic information at the time the reservation is made; and an outputer that outputs information of predicted congestion degree predicted by the congestion degree predictor.
