an information collector to collect and transmit an individual identification number for identifying each device installed in a train, device operation information indicating an operating condition of each device, a car number for identifying a car in which each device is installed, and a formation number for identifying the train, to a ground system;
the ground system to manage, in association with the individual identification number of each device, a history of a correspondence between the formation number and the car number, train operation information that is information on a history of train operation for each formation number and the device operation information in association with the individual identification number of each device; and
the ground system is configured to, when the individual identification number is specified:
create device installation history data that is a history of trains and cars in which the device with the individual identification number is installed from the history of correspondence,
create train operation information data on the train in which a device having the individual identification number is installed based on the train operation history information, and
create operation information history of the device having the individual identification number based on the device installation history data and the train operation information.
