A local public information system can deliver public information to
appropriate target persons in a local area at appropriate times, and make
it possible for the persons to reconfirm the information once delivered,
without incurring communication expenses and noise. The system includes
an information delivery server and an on-board device for dedicated
short-range radio communication both installed on a vehicle, a roadside
device installed in the neighborhood of a road on which the vehicle is
traveling; and a facility equipped with a base station server and an
information output device connected to the roadside device. The vehicle
with the information delivery server and the on-board device installed
thereon circulates through the local area, so that public information or
the like is delivered from the information delivery server to the base
station server in the facility on a living quarter side through dedicated
short-range radio communication between the on-board device and the
roadside device.
