1. A roadside information processing system comprising:
a plurality of roadside devices installed on a roadside of a road and capable of communicating with a vehicle travelling on the road; and
a plurality of sensors installed on the roadside to perform sensing on the road and a periphery thereof, wherein
at least one of the roadside devices includes processing circuitry to perform edge-server processing to obtain first information from an in-vehicle device included in the vehicle and from some of the plurality of sensors, the first information indicating information about a periphery of the vehicle and about the road and a periphery thereof, and to generate second information by using the first information, the second information indicating a position of the vehicle, a movement direction of the vehicle, and traffic jam conditions on the road,
the processing circuitry is configured
to connect to some of the plurality of roadside devices or some of the plurality of sensors,
to determine a connection destination and to determine whether the connection destination is some of the plurality of sensors configured to output the first information without holding the first information therein,
to generate a virtual area for holding sensor information indicating information sensed and generated by each of said some of the plurality of sensors, and
to obtain the sensor information for each of said some of the plurality of sensors from the virtual area, and to transmit the sensor information.
