BARRIER INFORMATION PROVIDING SYSTEM AND METHOD, AND LOW-SPEED VEHICLE USED THEREFOR

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an inexpensive and diffusive barrier information providing system by automatically collecting barrier information from a low-speed vehicle which is traveling and associating the barrier information to map information. SOLUTION: The barrier information providing system 1 includes a plurality of low-speed vehicles (wheelchairs) 3 which create probe information including barrier information; and a server device 2 which associates the barrier information to map information based on the probe information collected from the plurality of low-speed vehicles 3, and transmits the barrier information associated with the map information to the low-speed vehicles 3. The low-speed vehicle 3 includes a position detection part 16 which detects a traveling position of its own vehicle; barrier information creation parts 11, 12, 22 which automatically create the barrier information based on vibration or inclination caused in its own vehicle during traveling or based on both; and a cellular phone 8 that is a data transmitting part for transmitting the probe information including the traveling position and the barrier information to the server device 2.
