  As mentioned above, although concretely demonstrated based on embodiment which concerns on this invention, this invention is not limited to the said embodiment, It can change in the range which does not deviate from the summary.

[4. Modified example]
(Modification 1)
For example, in the above-described embodiment, the case where the road surface store is set as the destination in advance in the store waiting time acquisition process is described as an example, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, when a roadside store is not set as a destination in advance, a waiting train for each lane is detected based on a “speed gap” between trains traveling in the same direction and the same road section, and the waiting train May have a waiting time for entering the roadside store when the roadside store has a predetermined positional relationship with the location of the roadside store. Here, the speed gap between the trains is the speed difference between the trains.
Hereinafter, the store waiting time acquisition process when the road surface store E1 with the parking lot E2 is not set as the destination will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 4 and FIG.

First, the control unit 11 refers to a plurality of probe information acquired in step S1 of FIG. 2 to determine whether a predetermined speed gap exists between the trains C10 and C20 traveling in the same direction and the same road section. Is determined (step S31). Here, the vehicle train C10 is formed by vehicles C1 to C5 that travel at a speed less than a predetermined value, and the vehicle train C20 is formed by vehicles C6 and C7 that travel at a speed greater than a predetermined value. The vehicles C1 to C7 travel in the same direction, and the vehicles C8 and C9 travel in the opposite direction to the vehicles C1 to C7. In the first modification, the control unit 11 refers to the plurality of probe information acquired in step S1, and in the same direction and the same road section, the train running at a speed higher than a predetermined value and the speed less than the predetermined value. It is determined that a predetermined speed gap exists when the running vehicle train is mixed. Here, since the vehicle train C10 is traveling at a speed less than a predetermined value and the vehicle train C20 is traveling at a speed higher than the predetermined value, the control unit 11 has a predetermined speed gap between the vehicle trains C10 and C20. Judge that.
That is, the control unit 11 functions as the fifth determination unit of the present invention.
When it is determined that the predetermined speed gap exists (step S31: YES), the process proceeds to the next step S32.
On the other hand, when it is determined that the predetermined speed gap does not exist (step S31: NO), it is determined that there is no waiting line for each lane, and the road surface store to be evaluated cannot be specified, and the process ends.

Next, the control unit 11 detects a waiting lane for each lane based on the speed gap acquired in step S31 (step S32). Specifically, based on the speed gap acquired in step S31, the control unit 11 detects the vehicle train C10 that travels at a slower speed, that is, at a speed less than a predetermined value, as the waiting vehicle train C10. The control unit 11 functions as detection means of the present invention.

Next, the control unit 11 refers to the waiting train line C10 detected in step S32 to determine whether or not the waiting train line C10 has a predetermined positional relationship with the position of the road surface store E1 ( Step S33). Here, the waiting queue is in a predetermined positional relationship with the position of the road surface store, for example, when the position of the leading vehicle in the waiting queue and the position of the road surface store are within a predetermined distance. is there. The leading vehicle in the waiting queue is the leading vehicle among the vehicles forming the waiting queue in which the probe information can be acquired. In the example shown in FIG. 5, the vehicle C1 is the leading vehicle in the waiting train line C10.
That is, the control unit 11 functions as a sixth determination unit of the present invention.
If it is determined that there is a predetermined positional relationship (step S33: YES), the process proceeds to the next step S34.
On the other hand, if it is determined that there is no predetermined positional relationship (step S33: NO), the process of step S33 is repeated until the predetermined positional relationship is reached.

Next, the control unit 11 refers to the probe information and determines whether or not the position information of the last vehicle in the waiting train line C10 is moving (step S34). The last vehicle in the waiting queue is the last vehicle among the vehicles that can acquire probe information among the vehicles that form the waiting queue. In the example shown in FIG. 5, the vehicle C5 is the last vehicle in the waiting train line C10.
When it is determined that the position information of the last vehicle is moving (step S34: YES), the process of step S34 is repeated until the position information stops moving.
On the other hand, if it is determined that the position information of the last vehicle has not moved (step S34: NO), the process proceeds to the next step S35.

Since the process of step S35 is the same as the process of step S24 of FIG. 3 which shows the store entry waiting time acquisition process which concerns on embodiment, description is abbreviate | omitted.
Next, the control unit 11 determines that the waiting queue C10 is in a predetermined positional relationship with the position of the road surface store E1 in step S33, and the position information of the last vehicle C5 has not moved in step S34. Is acquired as the waiting time for entering the store (step S36).

As described above, the server device 10 according to the modified example 1 has a predetermined speed difference between the trains traveling in the same direction and the same road section based on the plurality of travel information acquired by the first acquisition unit. When it is determined by the fifth determination means (control unit 11) and the fifth determination means that there is a predetermined speed difference, a waiting lane for each lane is determined based on the speed difference. Based on the detection means (control unit 11) for detecting and the waiting queue detected by the detecting means, a sixth judgment is made as to whether or not the waiting queue is in a predetermined positional relationship with the position of the road surface store. Determination means (control unit 11), and the second acquisition means acquires the waiting time for entering the roadside store when the sixth determination means determines that there is a predetermined positional relationship.
Therefore, according to the server device 10 according to the first modification, the roadside store corresponding to the automatically detected waiting train can be evaluated even if it is other than the roadside store set as the destination. Can recognize the presence of popular stores and expand the range of store selection by the driver.

(Other variations)
For example, in the above embodiment, the evaluation value of the road surface store is notified to the driver (see step S4 in FIG. 2), but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the evaluation value of the road surface store may not be notified to the driver.
In the above embodiment, it is determined whether or not the position information has moved within a predetermined time (see step S24 in FIG. 3). However, the present invention is not limited to this. That is, when it is determined that the vehicle is traveling at a predetermined speed or less in step S22 without determining whether the position information has moved within a predetermined time, or when it is determined in step S23 that the position information has not moved. The time until may be acquired as the waiting time for entering the store.

Further, for example, when the car navigation function is turned off, it is determined in step S23 in FIG. 3 that the position information has not moved, and when it is determined that the position information has not moved, The evaluation value of the road surface store may be added based on the distance between the position where the function is turned off and the position of the road surface store.
Thus, for example, even when the car navigation function is no longer needed just before the store and the car navigation function is turned off, the waiting time estimated by the distance from the store is converted into an evaluation value and added. Therefore, the accuracy of store evaluation can be ensured.

Also, for example, in a roadside store for which an evaluation value equal to or greater than a predetermined value has been calculated in the past, if the currently acquired waiting time for entering the store is within a predetermined time, within a predetermined distance from the roadside store, You may make it recommend the said road surface store by the alerting | reporting means (the display part 23, the audio | voice output part 24) of the vehicle C which drive | works to a direction. In this case, the currently acquired store waiting time and the normal store waiting time may be displayed in a comparable manner.
As a result, for example, when a normally crowded store is accidentally vacant, the store can be recommended to the driver, so that useful information that is surprising to the driver can be provided.

In addition, for example, in a roadside store where the waiting time for entering a store in a predetermined time zone is a predetermined time or more, the vehicle C traveling in the direction of the roadside store within a predetermined distance from the road surface store in a time zone other than the predetermined time zone. You may make it recommend the said road surface store by an alerting | reporting means. In this case, you may make it display the store waiting time in a predetermined time slot | zone together.
Accordingly, it is possible to recommend a popular store to the driver while avoiding a busy time period, and thus it is possible to provide useful information that attracts the driver's interest.

Further, for example, when recommending a roadside store, the notification means may be used to notify an average store waiting time corresponding to the current day of the week and time zone. For example, if the current time is 16:10 on Thursday, the average store waiting time for “16:00” on “Thursday” is notified.
As a result, it is possible to recognize the current average waiting time for entering a store at the recommended store together, and thus it is possible to provide more information for determining store selection by the driver.

In addition, for example, when recommending a roadside store, or when a roadside store is set as a navigation destination, including the case unrelated to the recommendation, the position of the last vehicle in the waiting queue corresponding to the roadside store And the estimated waiting time for entering the store is calculated based on the distance between the position information (for example, the position of the parking lot) that is determined relatively frequently when the position information is not moved with respect to the road surface store, and the calculation is performed. The estimated waiting time for entering the store may be notified by a notification means.
As a result, it is possible to recognize the estimated waiting time for entering a store that is set to a recommended store or destination and to go to the store, so that more information for determining the store selection by the driver can be provided. it can.
