Abstract
An object is to provide technology capable of appropriately recognizing a travel path. A travel path recognition apparatus includes a travel path recognizer. The travel path recognizer calculates a traveling distance traveled by a vehicle from acquisition time of lane marking information to current time based on a vehicle speed of vehicle behavior. Then, the travel path recognizer determines whether or not the lane marking information is information within a usable period in which the lane marking information is usable to recognize the travel path based on a predetermined lane marking acquirable distance and the traveling distance. The predetermined lane marking acquirable distance is a distance in front of a position of the vehicle, and is a distance in which a lane marking of the lane marking information is acquirable.
