<p>The purpose of the present invention is to provide a vehicle course estimating device with which it is possible to estimate the course of a vehicle with sufficient accuracy. For this purpose, a vehicle course estimating device (1) comprises: a winker sensor (14) for detecting the operation state of a winker of a vehicle; a distance detecting unit (21) for detecting a distance (L) between the crossing in the direction-of-movement side of the vehicles and the vehicle; a standard speed calculation unit (22) for calculating, when the operation of winker is detected by the winker sensor (14), a standard speed (V0) that is the speed that is required by the vehicle to reach after a predetermined time at a crossing on the basis of the distance (L) between the vehicle and the crossing in the direction-of-movement side of the vehicle, said distance (L) being detected by the distance detecting unit (21); and a course estimation unit (23) for estimating the course of the vehicle on the basis of a speed (V) of the vehicle relative to the standard speed (V0) calculated by the standard speed calculation unit (22).</p> |
