Hereinafter, an operation state will be described with reference to a flowchart of FIG. Here, the IC card 100a is characterized in that it is considered as a medium having both a vehicle key and a license function, or as a mechanism in which the engine of the vehicle cannot be started unless all three are provided. In step 10, first, when driving the vehicle, the past traffic accident / traffic violation information and license information are read by inserting the IC card 100a into the in-vehicle device 100b.
In step 11, by confirming the qualification for driving, collation and judgment are made as to whether the type of the driving vehicle matches with the license or corresponds to the license suspension period. Only when the driving qualification is confirmed, the routine proceeds to step 12, and the engine is started.

Then, the traffic accident information is transmitted to the traffic accident management center 200. At that time, the database in the traffic accident management center is automatically updated. If it is not a traffic accident but a traffic control, go to step 34. In step 34, it is further determined whether or not the contents read from the IC card violate traffic rules. For example, because you linked to map information, did you drive on a certain road within legal speed?
It is also possible to obtain information such as whether or not the vehicle was running in compliance with traffic signs such as one-way traffic and no entry. In the case of a traffic rule violation, the license points are subtracted in step 35 according to the traffic rule violation points, the license information is updated on the IC card 100a, and the remaining points are recorded. Also, in response to traffic rules violations,
When a fine or fine is imposed, a mechanism is provided for automatically paying from the electronic money recorded in the IC card 100a or the account of the violator. When performing the processing of step 35, the license points are managed by a mechanism for updating the data with the on-site verification processing device 300 when the management is performed by the current management center of the National Police Agency, Alternatively, it may be managed by the traffic accident management center 200. In addition, management of payment of fines and fines will be handled separately with institutions equivalent to financial institutions.
