To provide a vehicle management system capable of preventing a vehicle from obstructing a traffic flow at a user's getting on point.SOLUTION: A vehicle management system of the present invention controls running a vehicle by an automatic driving function so that the earliest arrival time of a vehicle in a vehicle arrival time range is later than the latest arrival time of a user in a user arrival range, by receiving user position information indicating the user's position and vehicle position information indicating the position of the vehicle, setting a getting on point where the user gets on the vehicle, calculating the user arrival time range indicating the predicted range of the time when the user arrives at the getting on point, based on the user position information, and calculating the vehicle arrival time range indicating the predicted range of the time when the vehicle arrives at the getting on point, based on the vehicle position information.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】ユーザの乗車地点において、車両が交通流の妨げとなることを防止することができる車両管理システムを提供することである。【解決手段】本発明は、ユーザの位置を示すユーザ位置情報及び車両の位置を示す車両位置情報を受信し、ユーザが車両に乗車する乗車地点を設定し、ユーザ位置情報に基づき、ユーザが乗車地点に到着する時刻の予測範囲を示すユーザ到着時刻範囲を算出し、車両位置情報に基づき、車両が乗車地点に到着する時刻の予測範囲を示す車両到着時刻範囲を算出し、車両到着時刻範囲のうち車両が最も早く到着する到着時刻が、ユーザ到着時刻範囲のうちユーザが最も遅く到着する到着時刻より遅い時刻となるように、自動運転機能による車両の走行を制御する。【選択図】図１
