An object management apparatus is provided which can reliably and easily
perform a confirmation operation of necessary objects depending on a
destination when a vehicle travels. The object management apparatus
comprises an object database for storing therein a list of necessary
objects depending on the destination, a navigation device for setting a
destination for travel of the vehicle, an object detector for detecting
objects present in the vehicle, a missing-object determination section
for comparing the actually detected objects with the list of the
necessary objects corresponding to the destination to determine whether
any object included in the list is missing or not, and a notification
section for providing a notice when an object is missing.
