Abstract
A lane determination device includes a processor configured to: store map information including information on division lines defining two lanes on a road; calculate a first angle and a second angle based on the map information, the first angle being a bending angle of a first division line at a junction where the two lanes merge together, the second angle being a bending angle of a second division line at the junction, the first division line being one of two outermost division lines in the division lines defining the two lanes, the second division line being the other one of the two outermost division lines; and determine, as a merging lane, a lane defined by the second division line out of the two lanes when the first angle is larger than the second angle.
