Abstract
The object of the present invention is to enable presentation of information on a target object (vehicle) located on a road to a pedestrian at an appropriate time and such that the information includes appropriate information for the pedestrian's statues. A pedestrian device transmits position data of a pedestrian to an in-vehicle device, which determines whether or not the pedestrian approaches a vehicle based on the position data. When determining that the pedestrian approaches the vehicle, the in-vehicle device transmits guidance direction information to the pedestrian device. The pedestrian device performs control based on the guidance direction information so as to guide the pedestrian to look toward the vehicle, and the pedestrian device acquires sight status information of the pedestrian from a wearable terminal and transmits the sight status information to the in-vehicle terminal. Then, the in-vehicle terminal determines whether or not the pedestrian sees the vehicle. When determining that the pedestrian does not see the vehicle, the in-vehicle terminal transmit alert information to the pedestrian terminal, and the pedestrian terminal performs control based on the alert inf…
