1. A power supply control system, comprising:
a plurality of traveling lanes in which vehicles travel in a same direction, each of the traveling lanes having a different width from each other;
a traveling lane management device including a first processor; and
a power supply control device including a second processor, wherein
the first processor is configured to:
receive first information on a disaster from a disaster prevention center of a national or local government;
generate second information on control for power supply to the plurality of the traveling lanes, in a case where the first processor receives the first information while the vehicles travel in the plurality of traveling lanes, the second information instructing increasing a power supply ratio in a widest traveling lane in the plurality of the traveling lanes; and
transmit the second information to the second processor, and
the second processor is configured to:
receive the second information from the first processor;
increase the power supply ratio in the widest traveling lane in the plurality of the traveling lanes in a case where the second processor receives the second information;
receive third information on the disaster that indicates that the disaster has been settled and a trouble caused by the disaster has been resolved; and
return the power supply ratio to a predetermined power supply ratio in a case where the second processor receives the third information.
