1. A display control device for controlling image display of a display device for remote operation of a moving body, the display device including one or more screens respectively configured to display one or more intersection images captured by one or more cameras, the one or more cameras being installed at an intersection through which the moving body passes and each being configured to image a traffic situation in an area of the intersection, the display control device comprising:
a processor configured to execute an image process of arranging the one or more intersection images on the one or more screens in different modes depending on a relation between one or more imaging directions of the one or more cameras and a traveling direction of the moving body, wherein
the one or more cameras include first and second cameras,
an area of the intersection captured by the first and second cameras includes a second road that intersects, at the intersection, a first road on which the moving body travels,
when a direction of a vehicle-traveling-direction component of a vector that indicates an imaging direction of each of the first and second cameras coincides with the traveling direction, the processor is configured, in the image process, to arrange, on a left side of an image of the second camera capturing a first area of the second road located on a right side of the intersection when viewed from the moving body, an image of the first camera capturing a second area of the second road located on a left side of the intersection,
the processor is configured to compare the direction of the vehicle-traveling-direction-component of the vector that indicates the imaging direction with the traveling direction, and calculate the traveling direction based on vehicle position information,
the processor is configured to display the one or more intersection images in an image pattern on the one or more screens of the display device,
the processor is configured to display, on the one or more screens of the display device, a pedestrian that is present on a right front side of the vehicle at the intersection and is crossing the second road in a direction approaching the vehicle in accordance with the image pattern,
the processor is configured to display, on the one or more screens of the display device, a second vehicle that is present on a left front side of the vehicle at the intersection and is traveling in a direction away from the vehicle, and
the processor is configured to receive vehicle information transmitted from the vehicle and present the vehicle information to a remote operator via the display device and a speaker, the vehicle information including surrounding situation information, sound detected by an in-vehicle microphone, object information related to a relative position and a relative speed of an object with respect to the vehicle, and vehicle state information including a speed, an acceleration, a yaw rate, and a steering angle of the vehicle.
