PURPOSE:To prevent a vehicle, especially, the one leaving a parking lot from exerting an adverse effect on a traffic flow in the periphery of the parking area in a large scale underground parking lot provided with plural entries/exits. CONSTITUTION:This device is constituted of means 11 to 14 which measure the number of vehicles leaving the parking lot and the traffic quantity of a road in the periphery of the parking lot, a traffic quantity demand predicting means 15 which predicts the traffic quantity after (n) hours, a traffic flow reproducing means 16 which reproduces the traffic flow, and a gate control means 17 which controls the exit gate of the parking lot and the timing of exit. By employing such constitution, simulation can be performed based on the number of vehicles leaving the parking lot after (n) hours found by prediction processing and the data of traffic quantity of the road in the periphery of the parking lot, and congestion on the road in the periphery of the parking lot can be prevented from occurring by controlling the exit of the vehicle leaving the parking lot and the timing of exit.
