Abstract: A traveling trajectory estimation system obtains traveling record information indicating a past traveling record of a vehicle, and characteristic object position information indicating the installation position of a characteristic object, and performs a vehicle position estimation process to estimate an object vehicle position at an object time, based on the traveling record information and the characteristic object position information. In the vehicle position estimation process, not only a time previous to the object time, but also a time subsequent to the object time, is used as a reference time. The traveling trajectory estimation system sets each of a plurality of successive times as the object time, and performs the vehicle position estimation process, to estimate the object vehicle positions at the respective times, and determines a collection of the estimated object vehicle positions as a traveling trajectory of the vehicle.
