Abstract
A pedestrian protection system includes a plurality of autonomous driving vehicles and a server configured to be able to communicate with each of the autonomous driving vehicles. The server is configured to select at least one vehicle to be moved to the location of a pedestrian from among the autonomous driving vehicles as a pedestrian protection vehicle when a particular situation occurrence notification is received and is configured to send an instruction notification to the pedestrian protection vehicle. The particular situation occurrence notification indicates that the pedestrian is placed in a particular situation. The instruction notification instructs the pedestrian protection vehicle to move to the location of the pedestrian for protecting the pedestrian. Each of the autonomous driving vehicles is configured to move to the location of the pedestrian for protecting the pedestrian when the instruction notification is received.
