Abstract
A vehicle position estimating device includes a coordinates obtaining unit, a map information obtaining unit, a surrounding information obtaining unit, a vehicle position estimating unit, a relative position estimating unit, and a correcting unit. The coordinates obtaining unit obtains coordinates of a first vehicle. The map information obtaining unit obtains map information including the coordinates obtained by the coordinates obtaining unit. The surrounding information obtaining unit obtains surrounding information indicating a reference around the first vehicle that is detected by a surrounding sensor. The vehicle position estimating unit estimates a first vehicle position using the map information and the surrounding information. The relative position estimating unit estimates a relative position of a second vehicle around the first vehicle with respect to the first vehicle. The correcting unit corrects the first vehicle position using the relative position and a second vehicle position obtained from the second vehicle.
