The invention provides a useful vehicle dispatching system. Server 60
estimates an approximate location of a passenger on the basis of the area
code transmitted from server 40. Server 60 transmits a list of landmarks
located in the area corresponding to the area code, and the list is
thereby provided to the passenger carrying mobile station 10. The
passenger selects a desired landmark to which a vehicle should be
dispatched. Server 60 determines the location of the landmark by
referring to the landmark database; and determines which vehicles 20 are
located proximate to the landmark by referring to the vehicle database.
Server 60 transmits the information on the determined vehicles 20 to
mobile station 10, and the information is thereby provided to the
passenger. The passenger selects a desired vehicle 20 to make a telephone
call to the driver of vehicle 20. Thus, the passenger may directly talk
to the driver.
