A map information correction apparatus includes a feature point priority determination unit that determines a priority for a feature point of own mobile object surrounding information. A feature pair priority determination unit gives, when there is one or more feature pairs, a priority to the feature pair, based on an own mobile object surrounding information priority of the feature pair and a map information priority of the feature pair. The feature pair is a pair of an own mobile object surrounding information feature point and a received map information feature point that correspond to each other. An error calculation unit calculates an error in the map information, based on a high-priority own mobile object surrounding information feature point and a high-priority map information feature point. A correction unit corrects the map information using the error.

A vehicle traveling control device includes: a communicator periodically receiving a dynamic map; a sensor management circuit collecting, from one or more sensors measuring a state of objects around a vehicle, a result of measurement representing the state of objects around the vehicle; a surrounding information comparator comparing object data represented by the dynamic map with object data represented by the result of measurement, and in response to finding mismatching object data, detecting, from the mismatching object data, data of the dynamic map representing an object within a specified range from the vehicle; and a proximity information processor setting, from the data of the dynamic map detected by the surrounding information comparator, data representing the vehicle as an avoidance non-target object in traveling control, and setting data representing an object other than the vehicle as an avoidance target object in traveling control or the avoidance non-target object.
