Abstract
A stop line position estimation device includes a traffic signal recognition unit configured to recognize a traffic signal at an intersection ahead of a vehicle and a stop line position estimation unit configured to estimate that a position of the stop line is a position from the traffic signal by a first distance toward the vehicle side. When the traffic signal recognition unit recognizes a plurality of traffic signals and the stop line position estimation unit recognizes an immediate front traffic signal and a rear traffic signal based on a positional relationship between the traffic signals, the stop line position estimation unit estimates that the position of the stop line is a position from the immediate front traffic signal by a second distance toward the vehicle side. The second distance is shorter than the first distance.
