Abstract:
According to one embodiment, in general, an information processing apparatus includes one or more processors. The one or more processors receive from an onboard device of a probe vehicle an image showing a vehicle group of one or more vehicles stopping on the same lane, imaging time of the image, and a position of the probe vehicle at the imaging time. The one or more processors select vehicle groups according to the imaging time and an imaging position. The one or more processors identify the selected vehicle groups as a vehicle queue. The one or more processors calculate a stopping vehicle-queue evaluation value. The one or more processors calculate a parking vehicle-queue evaluation value. The one or more processors determine whether the identified vehicle queue is the stopping vehicle queue or the parking vehicle queue.

Claim (Index 1):
An information processing apparatus comprising:\n one or more processors configured to: receive from an onboard device of a probe vehicle, an image, imaging time, and a position of the probe vehicle at the imaging time, the image showing a vehicle group including one or more vehicles at a stop on the same lane, the imaging time at which the image is generated; select, a plurality of vehicle groups in accordance with the imaging time and the position of the probe vehicle at the imaging time; identify the selected vehicle groups as a vehicle queue; calculate a stopping vehicle-queue evaluation value on the basis of a plurality of stopping vehicle-queue conditions, the stopping vehicle-queue evaluation value that indicates a level of possibility of the identified vehicle queue being a stopping vehicle queue that has stopped for a period less than a threshold, the stopping vehicle-queue conditions that define characteristics of the stopping vehicle queue; calculate a parking vehicle-queue evaluation value on the basis of a plurality of parking vehicle-queue conditions, the parking vehicle-queue evaluation value that indicates a level of possibility of the identified vehicle queue being a parking vehicle queue that has stopped for a period not less than the threshold, the parking vehicle-queue conditions that define characteristics of the parking vehicle queue; and determine whether the identified vehicle queue is the stopping vehicle queue or the parking vehicle queue, according to the stopping vehicle-queue evaluation value and the parking vehicle-queue evaluation value.
