To provide a lane change prediction system and a lane change prediction method which can predict whether the merging vehicle interrupts on the front side or the back side of the object vehicle. A lane change prediction system, when the peripheral vehicle which exists around the object vehicle is a merging vehicle, predicts whether the merging vehicle interrupts on a front side or a back side of the object vehicle, based on a detection value of the relative position with respect to the object vehicle, a detection value of the relative speed, and a positive or negative of the detection value of the relative speed.

Lane change prediction system and lane change prediction method

Conventionally, a method in which pieces of point group information for use in position matching between a white line position detected by an object detection sensor and a white line position on a map are extracted from the white line positions according to a travel environment, has not been taken into account. In the present disclosure, a point group extraction condition is changed according to change in the travel environment so that: a process of position matching that exhibits robustness with respect to change in the travel environment can be realized; and an own position and a white line position existing at a long distance from an own vehicle can be detected with high accuracy.
