 Detecting section 34, based on the first information, it detects the occurrence of congestion in the general road (predetermined event). Further, the detection unit 34 may further detect the resolution of the detected congestion. Detection of traffic congestion, the detection of traffic congestion, based on the first information, can be realized by using any technique. For example, to calculate the spatial average velocity, if the value is below threshold state continues longer than a predetermined time traffic congestion may be determined otherwise normal (non-congestion). Note that this means is only an example.
[0055]
 Calculating section 35, based on the first information and the second information, calculates various information indicating the traffic conditions of the general road and toll roads. For example, calculation unit 35, the occurrence of congestion in the general road traffic amount of conversion from the general road motorway when notified in the notification target (occurrence of a predetermined event), the change in conversion rate before and after the notification, changes in general roads and / or congestion occurrence frequency of the highway in the notification before and after the open road and / or highway before and after the change of the open road and / or highway traffic conditions and the alert by the notification before and after CO 2 is calculated at least one of a density change.
[0056]

Further, the calculation unit 35, based on the first information and the second information acquired before the notification, the first information and the second information acquired after the notification, the change in the conversion rate, the congestion change in frequency, changes in the traffic conditions, and, above CO 2 can be calculated change in concentration.
[0057]
 Notified of the occurrence of a predetermined event is a road user. Notification of the occurrence of a predetermined event (hereinafter, "event occurrence notification") is realized, for example, by the display of information to the installed display device on the road. Event occurrence notification may be realized by the first manager, it may be implemented by the second manager. When implemented by a second manager, for example, the information processing apparatus 30 and the display device may be enabled to communicate with each other via a network or a dedicated line such as the Internet. The information processing apparatus 30, when detecting the occurrence of congestion in the general road by detecting unit 34, and transmitted to the display device a predetermined signal in response thereto, be displayed on the display device information indicating the traffic congestion good. It should be noted that the event occurrence notification, radio, TV, car navigation, may be realized by the provision of information using the information transmission means such as the Internet news. In addition, the contents of the event occurrence notification, other, traffic congestion place, traffic congestion distance, congestion time, the traffic situation of the toll road (the presence or absence of a traffic jam, etc.), may include information such as regulations and construction regulations by accident.
[0058]
 Conversion is used to quantify the proportion of traffic in traffic and toll road general road. That is, conversion indicates the traffic and the rate of traffic of the toll road when the set to 1 all traffic to traffic were included in the toll road general road. Calculating unit 35, for example, by using the first information and second information, respectively calculates the traffic volume of ordinary roads and toll roads each of the time zones, and calculates the conversion ratio using the calculated traffic volume. Calculation of conversion of each time period may be from the entire cumulative traffic volume at a certain time interval is calculated using the traffic of the toll road in the same time interval.
[0059]
 Further, calculation portion 35, and the calculated conversion rate based on the first information and the second information prior to the event occurrence notification, and the calculated conversion rate based on the first information and the second information after the event occurrence notification based on, it is possible to calculate the change in the conversion rate in the event occurrence notification and forth. For example, by dividing the (conversion after event occurrence notification) of the difference obtained by subtracting the (conversion rate before event occurrence notification) in the (conversion rate before the event occurrence notification), it may calculate the rate of increase.
[0060]
 Congestion frequency of occurrence, shows the congestion occurrence number of times per unit time. Calculating section 35, based on the congestion occurrence frequency of the general road which is calculated based on the first information before the event occurrence notification, and congestion occurrences of general road calculated based on the first information after the event occurrence notification, the event it is possible to calculate the change in the congestion occurrence frequency of the open road on occurrence notification before and after. For example, by dividing by the (event occurrence notification before the congestion occurrence frequency of) a difference obtained by subtracting the (congestion occurrence frequency after event occurrence notification) (congestion occurrence frequency of the previous event occurrence notification), be calculated reduction rate good.
[0061]
 Similarly, the calculation unit 35, a congestion occurrence frequency of toll road calculated based on the second information before the event occurrence notification, on the congestion occurrence frequency of the toll road calculated based on the second information after the event occurrence notification based, it is possible to calculate the change in the congestion occurrence frequency of the toll road in the event occurrence notification and forth. For example, by dividing by the (congestion occurrence frequency after event occurrence notification) of the difference obtained by subtracting the (congestion occurrence frequency of the previous event occurrence notification) (congestion occurrence frequency of the previous event occurrence notification), be calculated growth rate good.
[0062]
 Traffic is, for example, the length of the distance with the traffic congestion (congestion length) and length of the traffic jam to that time (traffic congestion time) and the like. Calculating unit 35, traffic conditions (example of a general road calculated based on the first information before the event occurrence notification: traffic congestion distance or congestion time statistics congestion occurs (maximum value, minimum value, average value, modal value, a median value, etc.)), based on the traffic conditions of the general road which is calculated based on the first information after the event occurrence notification, it is possible to calculate the change in the traffic conditions of the general road at an event occurrence notification longitudinal . For example, by dividing by the (event occurrence notice before traffic congestion distance) the difference obtained by subtracting the (congestion distance after event occurrence notification) (traffic congestion distance before event occurrence notification) may calculate the reduction rate. Other, by dividing by the (traffic congestion time before event occurrence notification) of the difference obtained by subtracting the (congestion time after event occurrence notification) (congestion time before event occurrence notification) may calculate the reduction rate.
[0063]
 Similarly, the calculation unit 35, based on the traffic conditions of toll roads calculated based and traffic conditions toll road calculated based on the second information before the event occurrence notification, the second information after the event occurrence notification, it is possible to calculate the change in the traffic conditions of the toll road in the event occurrence notification before and after. For example, by dividing the (congestion distance after event occurrence notification) of the difference obtained by subtracting the (traffic congestion distance before event occurrence notification) in (traffic congestion distance before event occurrence notification), it may calculate the rate of increase.
