Claim 0:
1. A shared vehicle managing system, comprising:
a managing server configured to accept rental reservations by a plurality of users and to manage rental of shared vehicles; and
a terminal configured to communicate with the managing server,
wherein the terminal includes: an information transmitting unit configured to accept an input of an evaluation value by each user and to transmit the evaluation value to the managing server, the evaluation value being related to a maintenance condition of a shared vehicle each user has used; a notifying unit configured to give a notification to each user who uses the shared vehicle upon reception of a prescribed maintenance signal, the notification prompting the user to perform maintenance of the shared vehicle; and a rainfall sensor mounted on the shared vehicle,
the managing server includes: a converting unit configured to convert the evaluation value into an absolute evaluation value for the shared vehicle; an evaluation value storing unit configured to store the absolute evaluation value, the absolute evaluation value being based on a same criterion; a maintenance determining unit configured to determine whether the maintenance of the shared vehicle is required; and a signal transmitting unit configured to transmit the maintenance signal to the terminal when the maintenance determining unit determines that the maintenance is required,
the terminal is configured to accept the evaluation value at each of a use start time and a use end time of the shared vehicle,
the converting unit is configured to convert the evaluation value at the use end time into the absolute evaluation value based on the absolute evaluation value stored in the evaluation value storing unit in advance and the evaluation value at the use start time, and to update the absolute evaluation value stored in the evaluation value storing unit to the converted absolute evaluation value,
the maintenance determining unit is configured to determine whether the maintenance is required based on the updated absolute evaluation value, and
the maintenance determining unit updates the absolute evaluation value to a value indicating that the maintenance is not required when the maintenance determining unit judges that the shared vehicle is washed based on a signal from the rainfall sensor.
