Abstract

A degradation display system according to an aspect of the present disclosure includes: at least one memory configured to store instructions, and at least one processor configured to execute the instructions to perform: acquiring a degradation index indicating a degradation state of a road section, changing display form of a map in accordance with a display range and a scale of the map, and superimposing degradation information on the map, the degradation information based on the degradation index of an area on the map or the road section in the area, wherein the superimposing includes: superimposing, for each area, the degradation information in a display form corresponding to a degree of the degradation index of the area in a case that the map is at a first scale, and superimposing, for each road section, the degradation information in a display form corresponding to a degree of the degradation index of the road section in a case that the map is at a second scale larger than the first scale.

Claims (42)

1. A degradation display system comprising:

at least one memory configured to store instructions; and

at least one processor configured to execute the instructions to perform:

acquiring a degradation index indicating a degradation state of a road section;

changing display form of a map in accordance with a display range and a scale of the map; and

superimposing degradation information on the map, the degradation information based on the degradation index of an area on the map or the road section in the area, wherein

the superimposing includes:

superimposing, for each area, the degradation information in a display form corresponding to a degree of the degradation index of the area in a case that the map is at a first scale, and

superimposing, for each road section, the degradation information in a display form corresponding to a degree of the degradation index of the road section in a case that the map is at a second scale larger than the first scale.

2. The degradation display system according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to execute the instructions to perform:

determining the degree of the degradation index of the area based on a degradation index of the road section in the area.

3. The degradation display system according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to execute the instructions to perform:

displaying a road image of the road section, and superimposing the degradation information on the road image in a display form corresponding to the degradation index of the road image, the degradation information based on the degradation index of the road image.

4. The degradation display system according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to execute the instructions to perform:

determining the degree of the degradation index of the area based on at least one degradation index level of each degradation index.

5. The degradation display system according to claim 4 , wherein

the degree of the degradation index of the area is a representative level representing the degradation index of the area, the representative level determined based on the degradation index level for each road section in the area.

6. The degradation display system according to claim 4 , wherein

the degree of the degradation index of the area is a representative level representing the degradation index of the area, the representative level determined based on a ratio of the degradation index level that is highest for the degradation index of each road section.

7. The degradation display system according to claim 4 , wherein

the degree of the degradation index of the area is a representative level of the degradation index of the area, the representative level determined based on a ratio of the representative level for each road section in the area.

8. The degradation display system according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to execute the instructions to perform:

superimposing, for each area, the degradation information on the map by using at least one of a color, a transmittance, and a thickness of a frame line partitioning the area corresponding to the degree of the degradation index of the road section in the area in a case that the map is at the first scale, and

superimposing, for each road section, the degradation information on the map by using at least one of a color, a transmittance, and a shape of an arrow indicating a road section in a case that the map is at the second scale larger than the first scale.

9. The degradation display system according to claim 3 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to execute the instructions to perform:

superimposing the degradation information on the road image by using at least one of a color, a transmittance, a shape, a size, and an angle with respect to a road of an arrow indicating a traveling direction in a road section, the degradation information based on the degradation index of the road image.

10. The degradation display system according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to execute the instructions to perform:

superimposing information on the map, the information including a presence of a pot hole, a degradation type, or a degradation factor on the area or the road section.

11. A degradation display method comprising:

acquiring a degradation index indicating a degradation state of a road section;

changing display form of a map in accordance with a display range and a scale of the map;

superimposing degradation information on the map, the degradation information based on the degradation index of an area on the map or the road section in the area;

superimposing, for each area, the degradation information in a display form corresponding to a degree of the degradation index of the area in a case that the map is at a first scale; and

superimposing, for each road section, the degradation information in a display form corresponding to a degree of the degradation index of the road section in a case that the map is at a second scale larger than the first scale.

12. A non-transitory recording medium that stores a program causing a computer to perform:

acquiring a degradation index indicating a degradation state of a road section;

changing display form of a map in accordance with a display range and a scale of the map;

superimposing degradation information on the map, the degradation information based on the degradation index of an area on the map or the road section in the area;

superimposing, for each area, the degradation information in a display form corresponding to a degree of the degradation index of the area in a case that the map is at a first scale; and

superimposing, for each road section, the degradation information in a display form corresponding to a degree of the degradation index of the road section in a case that the map is at a second scale larger than the first scale.

13. The degradation display system according to claim 4 , wherein

the degree of the degradation index of the area is a representative level representing the degradation index of the area, the representative level determined based on an average value of the degradation index levels of each road section in the area.
