Abstract
There is provided a driving assistance device that can provide appropriate driving assistance when a vehicle travels at a merge point where a merge into a main lane from an acceleration lane is performed. When a planned travel route on which the vehicle travels has a merge point where a merge into a main lane from an acceleration lane is performed, a location of a front portion of a first distance with a start point of the acceleration lane being a starting point is identified as a merge start point, and a location of a front portion of a second distance from the merge start point is identified as a merge completion point, using high-precision map information, and a travel path and a speed plan are generated/created which are recommended for the vehicle to travel along upon performing merge operation in which the vehicle accelerates from the start point of the acceleration lane to the merge start point and starts lane-to-lane movement from the acceleration lane to the main lane at the merge start point and completes the lane-to-lane movement at the merge completion point.
