Abstract: A lateral position of a vehicle is estimated by collating a position of a lane division line in map data with a relative position of the lane division line with respect to the vehicle indicated by a recognition result by a peripheral monitoring sensor. The lateral position of the vehicle is precluded from being specified using the estimated lateral position of the vehicle in response to a lateral deviation between (i) a position of a landmark in the map data and (ii) a translated landmark position being equal to or greater than a first threshold value. The translated landmark position is a position on map deviated from the estimated lateral position of the vehicle assumed to be the lateral position of the vehicle on map by a relative position of the landmark with respect to the vehicle indicated by the recognition result by the peripheral monitoring sensor.
