Provided is a vehicle encounter determination apparatus comprising the following: an own-vehicle intersection entering probability estimation unit (33) that estimates the probability of the own-vehicle entering an own-vehicle intersection in an own-vehicle path on a map; a different-vehicle intersection extraction unit (35) that, on the basis of vehicle information acquired from a different-vehicle using vehicle-to-vehicle communication, extracts an intersection of the different-vehicle on a path travelling towards the own-vehicle path, the different-vehicle matching any of the own-vehicle path and a connection road in a constant range which connects to the own-vehicle intersection; a different-vehicle intersection entering probability estimation unit (36) that estimates the probability of entering the extracted different-vehicle intersection; an encounter probability calculation unit (37) that calculates the probability of the own-vehicle and the different-vehicle encountering each other in the own-vehicle intersection, such calculation being made from the estimated probability of the own-vehicle entering the own-vehicle intersection and the estimated probability of the different-vehicle entering the different-vehicle intersection; and an encounter determination unit (38) for determining that a different-vehicle for which the calculated encounter probability is at least a threshold value is a different-vehicle that will encounter the own-vehicle. |
