A transport system composed of road side stations installed along roads and vehicles
running on roads, wherein emergency processing at the time of an accident, a local
information providing service, and so on are realized by the road side stations
in cooperation of the road side stations and the respective vehicles. In the transport
system, a plurality of road side stations are interconnected through a road side
communication network, and a plurality of vehicles communicate with the road side
stations. A vehicle transmits a request message containing a service code and location
information. A road side station receiving the request message broadcasts the request
message to the network. The road side stations receive the message, and determine
whether or not requested processing should be executed based on the service code
and the location information. When determining that the processing should be executed,
the road side station executes processing indicated by the service code.
