To enable merging by automatic operation control.SOLUTION: An arbitration device includes a first wireless communication device, an imaging device, and a control section. The imaging device outputs an image obtained by imaging a predetermined range including a merging point of a first road and a second road being the road of a merging destination of the first road. When a first vehicle which can perform automatic operation control exists on the first road and also when a second vehicle in stopping and a third vehicle in traveling immediately before the second vehicle exist in a vehicle group on the second road toward a merging point, the control section transmits, to the first vehicle, a first signal being the signal to allow the first vehicle to merge between the second vehicle and the third vehicle based on a time from a start of a forward movement of the third vehicle to continuity of a stop of the second vehicle.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2
【課題】自動運転制御による合流を可能にすること。【解決手段】本開示に係る調停装置は、第1無線通信装置と、撮像装置と、制御部と、を備える。撮像装置は、第1道路と第1道路の合流先の第2道路との合流地点を含む所定範囲を撮像した画像を出力する。制御部は、第1道路上に自動運転制御を実行可能な第1車両が存在し、合流地点に向かう第2道路上の車群のうち、停止中の第2車両と第2車両の1つ前を先行する第3車両が存在する場合に、第3車両が前進を開始してから第2車両が停止を継続した時間に基づき、第1車両を第2車両と第3車両との間に合流させるための信号である第1信号を第1車両に送信する。【選択図】図2
