Abstract
A data collection system includes a server device and at least one probe vehicle. The server device includes a storage unit configured to store a master map in which a necessity of data collection for each of a plurality of unit ranges included in a plurality of segments is represented by a binary value; and a server control unit configured to extract from the master map a segment corresponding to a position of the probe vehicle, and to transmit the segment to the probe vehicle as a partial map. The probe vehicle includes a data obtaining unit configured to obtain the data; and a vehicle control unit configured to identify a unit range requiring data collection based on the partial map received from the server device, and to transmit the data obtained in the unit range to the server device.
