1. A vehicle tracking system for tracking a vehicle existing in a predetermined area, comprising:
a vehicle tracking sensor system that has a sensor for detecting the vehicle, provides a tentative vehicle number to the vehicle detected by the sensor, and then outputs a signal including the tentative vehicle number and absolute-coordinate-system positional information of the detected vehicle;
a vehicle number management PC to which a vehicle number possessed by the vehicle is inputted; and
edge computing that replaces the tentative vehicle number outputted from the vehicle tracking sensor system by the vehicle number outputted from the vehicle number management PC, when the vehicle completes parking,
wherein the edge computing outputs a signal including the replaced vehicle number of the vehicle that has completed parking and the absolute-coordinate-system positional information of the vehicle.
