Abstract
A travel assistance device includes a specifying unit configured to specify an entry node of an entry lane connected to an intersection and an exit node of an exit lane connected to the intersection based on map data including information of the intersection and a setting unit configured to set virtual connection objects each of which is a guide for the vehicle to travel and connects the entry node and the exit node. The setting unit is further configured to set a combination of the virtual connection objects where simultaneous traffic by vehicles may occur to not satisfy an avoidance condition except for a combination of the virtual connection objects where the avoidance condition is inevitably satisfied.
