1. A control system comprising:
a control server;
an on-vehicle device mounted to a vehicle;
a device to be controlled by a device control signal; and
an external terminal for transmitting a registration vehicle ID, device setting information, and information of a vehicle-to-vehicle communication area and a device control area to the control server, wherein
the on-vehicle device includes
a vehicle information acquisition circuitry to acquire vehicle information including a vehicle ID unique to the vehicle, and vehicle position information of the vehicle,
a server communicator to transmit the vehicle information and the vehicle position information to the control server and for receiving information from the control server, and
a vehicle-to-vehicle communicator to perform vehicle-to-vehicle communication,
the control server includes
an external terminal communicator to perform communication with the external terminal,
a device setting information storage memory to store the device setting information acquired from the external terminal communicator,
an area setting information storage memory to store information of the vehicle-to-vehicle communication area and the device control area acquired from the external terminal communicator,
a map information acquisition circuitry to acquire map information,
an on-vehicle device communicator to perform communication with the on-vehicle device,
a device communicator to perform communication with the device, and
a communication area determination circuitry,
the communication area determination circuitry
determines the vehicle for which the vehicle ID included in the vehicle information matches the registration vehicle ID, to be a registration vehicle,
sets the on-vehicle device of the vehicle for which the vehicle ID included in the vehicle information matches the registration vehicle ID, as a registration on-vehicle device,
outputs, when the registration vehicle is inside the vehicle-to-vehicle communication area, a vehicle-to-vehicle communication permission signal to the registration on-vehicle device via the on-vehicle device communicator,
generates the device control signal on the basis of the device setting information and a device control area determination result being a result of determination as to whether or not the registration vehicle is inside the device control area, and outputs the device control signal to the device via the device communicator, and
outputs the vehicle information and the device control signal to the external terminal via the external terminal communicator, and
in the on-vehicle device, when the server communicator has received the vehicle-to-vehicle communication permission signal, the vehicle-to-vehicle communicator performs vehicle-to-vehicle communication.
