Systems, methods, and programs of producing and using traffic signal
information take, when a vehicle is closely approaching a traffic signal,
an image of traffic signal lamps disposed on the traffic signal. The
systems, methods, and programs produce image data of the traffic signal
lamps, based on the taken image and analyze the image data. The systems,
methods, and programs produce traffic signal state information, the
traffic signal state information including a state of the traffic signal
as of the time of taking the image of the traffic signal lamps. The
systems, methods, and programs store traffic signal information, the
traffic signal information including the produced traffic signal state
information, traffic signal location information, and time information in
a memory. The systems, methods, and programs perform a statistical
analysis on a correlation in terms of the status of traffic signal lamps
among a plurality of traffic signals based on plural pieces of traffic
signal information of plural adjacent traffic signals.
