2 flash ROM 121 or RAM 122. Here, the electric vehicle A previously stored in the RAM 122
Of the vehicle ID and passenger ID information of the flash ROM 121 or
It is read out by a rotary switch (not shown) capable of counting binary numbers , controlled by the CPU device 9 and converted into a predetermined transmission format, and is sent from the mobile phone 7 and the antenna 71 via the modem 11 to the monitoring center via the network 8. The data communication with B allows the state of the electric vehicle A to be determined in real time via the network 8 at the current position of the electric vehicle A. In addition, the electric vehicle A specified
If you enter or go out of the designated area,
It is determined that the normal condition has occurred, and the monitoring center B is notified.
For example, information on whether the electric vehicle A is simply tilted, in a state of overturning, or whether an accident is encountered is clarified. Then, the monitoring center B transmits the accident or status information of the electric vehicle A to the personal computer or the fixed telephone installed in the client C or other information terminal device 17 via the network 8 by data communication or the like. The client C can grasp the accident or state of the electric vehicle A in real time and can dispatch to the site. On the other hand, the monitoring center B can also notify the emergency rescue center of an accident or state of the electric vehicle A, prompt the dispatch of the emergency vehicle, and the monitoring center B itself can have a function as an emergency rescue center.

If the emergency switch provided in the electric vehicle A and the portable telephone 7 are configured to issue a data signal based on the ON signal of the emergency switch, the electric vehicle A
