Abstract
A position estimation apparatus () acquires target information () regarding the position of a target body () and acquires neighboring information () regarding the position of a neighboring body, which is a movable body different from the target body (), from the neighboring body. The position estimation apparatus () determines, as a primary area (), a relative area in which the neighboring body is estimated to be present from the target information () and the neighboring information (). The position estimation apparatus () calculates a probability of presence () of the neighboring body in each relative area from a plurality of the primary areas () determined within a reference period and determines, as a secondary area (), a relative area in which the neighboring body is estimated to be present on the basis of the probability of presence ().
