BOARDING PERMISSION DETERMINATION DEVICE AND BOARDING PERMISSION DETERMINATION METHOD

A boarding permission determination device (1) comprises a controller (20) that uses a sensor (10) mounted on a vehicle to detect at least a prescribed movement of a person in the periphery of the vehicle while the vehicle is traveling. When the prescribed movement of a person is detected while the vehicle is traveling, the controller (20) determines a stop location for the vehicle, controls the vehicle such that the vehicle stops at the determined stop location, and, after the vehicle has stopped at the stop location, when the person that was detected while the vehicle was in motion is recognized, controls a prescribed device mounted on the vehicle so that this person can board the vehicle.
