1. A mobility information provision system comprising:
a plurality of communication apparatuses provided in respective predetermined zones or respective predetermined sections on roads;
a server configured to:
collect, through one or more networks, field information or preliminary processed information using the plurality of communication apparatuses, wherein the field information includes information on movement of a mobile body of a plurality of mobile bodies, information on a position of the mobile body, information on a time at the position of the mobile body, and information on a speed of the mobile body, and wherein the preliminary processed information is obtained by processing the field information;
determine, based on the field information, that a difference between the time of the field information and a time obtained from a radio wave of a satellite at the position of the mobile body is equal to or greater than a threshold;
in response to determining that the difference is equal to or greater than the threshold determine that the time of the field information is not accurate:
correct, based on determining that the time of the field information is not accurate, at least one of the information on the time, the information on the position, and the information on the speed of the field information;
map positions of the plurality of mobile bodies on a basis of the field information or the preliminary processed information;
regulate movement of the plurality of mobile bodies by generating course-related information on a basis of information on positions of the plurality of mobile bodies, and
transmit, through one or more networks including a wireless network, the course-related information to the plurality of mobile bodies, the course-related information comprising information on courses or movable ranges in which the plurality of mobile bodies are movable; and
a controller provided for each of the plurality of mobile bodies and configured to control movement of corresponding one of the plurality of mobile bodies on a basis of the course-related information generated by and transmitted from the server, information obtained from the course-related information and used to determine movement of the corresponding one of the plurality of mobile bodies, or information obtained from the course-related information and used to control the movement of the corresponding one of the plurality of mobile bodies,
wherein, in a case where the field information or the preliminary processed information includes emergency information transmitted from one of the plurality of mobile bodies at a location on a road on which the plurality of mobile bodies are movable,
(1) the server is further configured to:
map the positions of the mobile bodies and set an intrusion-prohibitive section around the location from which the emergency information is transmitted; and generate the course-related information that prevents each of the plurality of mobile bodies from entering the intrusion-prohibitive section, and
(2) the controller is further configured to, using the course-related information, control the movement of the corresponding one of the plurality of mobile bodies not to enter the intrusion-prohibitive section.
