Patent ID: 8666651

Claim:
An in-vehicle apparatus in a vehicle communicating with a road management apparatus, the in-vehicle apparatus comprising: an in-vehicle communicator that receives, from the road management apparatus, (i) obstacle existence or nonexistence information, and (ii) traffic signal information, the obstacle existence or nonexistence information indicating an existence of an obstacle that exists in a designated range containing a crosswalk around an intersection and/or a crosswalk-adjacent area that is adjacent to the crosswalk around the intersection, and further distinguishing an obstacle in the crosswalk and an obstacle in the crosswalk-adjacent area from each other, the traffic signal information containing a currently indicating color of a traffic signal corresponding to the crosswalk; and a report processing section that executes a report with respect to an obstacle around the intersection to a driver of the vehicle, the report processing section being further configured to suppress a report of an existence of an obstacle that is indicated by the obstacle existence or nonexistence information, which is received via the in-vehicle communicator, based on current traffic signal information contained in the traffic signal information received via the in-vehicle communicator, wherein the report processing section suppresses the report of the obstacle in the crosswalk-adjacent area from the obstacles indicated in the received obstacle existence or nonexistence information based on the received current traffic signal information.
