1. An object detection system comprising:
an information holding unit that holds blind spot information about a blind spot area being a blind spot of a driving target being a construction machine or a vehicle;
an information acquisition unit that acquires surroundings situation information about a surrounding situation of the driving target;
a detection processing unit that detects an object based on the surroundings situation information;
a state determination unit that determines that the object is in a dangerous state where the object is in the blind spot area, based on position information of the object detected and the blind spot information;
a notification unit that notifies both or one of a driver who drives the driving target and surroundings around the driving target that the object is in the dangerous state, according to a result of determination that the object is in the dangerous state;
a reception unit that receives surroundings situation information about a surrounding situation of another driving target, transmitted from the another driving target that is around the driving target; and
an information update unit that updates the blind spot information based on the surroundings situation information of the another driving target, in addition to the surroundings situation information of the driving target.
