Claim 5:
6. A traffic monitoring method, performed by a traffic monitoring system, the traffic monitoring method comprising:
wirelessly transmitting first data to a first moving vehicle, robot, or drone which moves along a traveling direction, the first data representing three-dimensional positions; and
wirelessly receiving third data from the first moving vehicle, robot, or drone, the third data representing three-dimensional positions generated based on the first data and second data, the second data being generated based on detection by a sensor provided on the first moving vehicle, robot, or drone, the second data representing at least three-dimensional positions of a space in front of the first moving vehicle, robot, or drone in the traveling direction, the space being a static area situated a predetermined distance ahead of the first moving vehicle, robot, or drone on a forward road in the traveling direction and the space being hidden from view of a second moving vehicle, robot, or drone following the first moving vehicle, robot, or drone because of a proximity of the second moving vehicle, robot, or drone from the first moving vehicle, robot, or drone, wherein
a first distance in the traveling direction between the first moving vehicle, robot, or drone and the space varies depending on a moving speed of the first moving vehicle, robot, or drone, and
wherein the three-dimensional positions of the space represented by the second data are included in the three-dimensional positions represented by the third data, the detectable spaces being detectable by the sensor.
