Abstract
Provided is a vehicle tracking device capable of appropriately tracking a vehicle. The vehicle tracking device is a vehicle tracking device that tracks a target vehicle that travels at the periphery of a host vehicle. The vehicle tracking device includes: an estimation unit that estimates a rectangular frame approximating an external shape of the target vehicle on the basis of past data; and a specifying unit that specifies an advancing direction of the target vehicle on the basis of layout of contour data composed of a plurality of pieces of detection point data, which is detected by a sensor that is mounted to the host vehicle and detects a relative position of a detection target with respect to the host vehicle as the detection point data, and indicates a contour of the target vehicle, with respect to a reference side that is a side on the host vehicle side among sides of the rectangular frame along a vehicle width direction of the rectangular frame.
