System for estimating potential risk area when vehicle is traveling

Abstract:

An information providing system for reducing the processing load when estimating a potential risk area when a vehicle is traveling is provided. The information providing system acquires heart rate data of an occupant of the vehicle acquired by a wearable terminal attached to the occupant. The information providing system estimates a potential risk area that is a cause to increase a heart rate based on the heart rate data acquired. The information providing system specifies a point in time a predetermined time before a point in time at which the heart rate indicated by the heart rate data increases, and estimates the position of the vehicle corresponding to the specified point in time as the potential risk area.
