Abstract

The disclosure provides a people-gathering analysis device including: a position information acquisition unit (112) that acquires position information of a moving body (150); a moving-body outside information acquisition unit (111) that acquires information about the area outside the moving body (150); and a people-gathering information calculation unit (113) that calculates people-gathering information indicating the gathering of people by referring to the position information of the moving body (150) acquired by the position information acquisition unit (112), and the information about the area outside the moving body (150) acquired by the moving-body outside information acquisition unit (111).

First claim

1 . A people-gathering analysis device comprising:
a position information acquisition unit, acquiring position information of a moving body; a moving-body outside information acquisition unit, acquiring information outside the moving body; and a people-gathering information calculation unit, calculating people-gathering information indicating a gathering of people with reference to the position information of the moving body acquired by the position information acquisition unit and the information outside the moving body acquired by the moving-body outside information acquisition unit.

2 . The people-gathering analysis device according to claim 1 , wherein the people-gathering information calculation unit generates attribute information indicating attributes of each person that is included in the people-gathering information with reference to the information outside the moving body acquired by the moving-body outside information acquisition unit, and includes the attribute information in the people-gathering information.

3 . The people-gathering analysis device according to claim 1 , comprising:
a map creation unit, acquiring map information, and displaying on a map indicated by the map information a distribution state of people based on the information acquired from the position information acquisition unit and the moving-body outside information acquisition unit.

4 . The people-gathering analysis device according to claim 1 , wherein
the moving body comprises an outside information acquisition unit acquiring outside information; the moving-body outside information acquisition unit acquires the information outside the moving body from the outside information acquisition unit.

5 . A movement destination prediction creation device, comprising:
a vehicle allocation schedule creation unit, creating a movement destination prediction of the moving body from the people-gathering information acquired from the people-gathering analysis device according to claim 1 .

6 . A people-gathering analysis system, comprising a moving-body outside information acquisition device acquiring information outside a moving body and a people-gathering analysis device, wherein
the people-gathering analysis device comprises:
a position information acquisition unit, acquiring position information of the moving body;
a people-gathering information calculation unit, calculating people-gathering information indicating a gathering of people with reference to the information outside the moving body acquired by the moving-body outside information acquisition device.

7 . The people-gathering analysis system according to claim 6 , wherein
the moving body comprises an outside information acquisition unit acquiring outside information; the moving-body outside information acquisition device acquires the information outside the moving body from the outside information acquisition unit.

8 . A vehicle being the moving body comprising the people-gathering analysis device according to claim 1 .

9 . A recording medium storing a people-gathering analysis program for causing a computer to function as the people-gathering analysis device according to claim 1 , wherein the people-gathering analysis program is for causing the computer to function as the position information acquisition unit, the moving-body outside information acquisition unit, and the people-gathering information calculation unit.
