Abstract
Disclosed is a navigation system which creates 'environment contribution information' in accordance with a deviation (δ(k)) between the total cost (C()) of a first route (RT()) which is searched by using a traffic information indicating the amount of cost required to pass through each link and the total cost (C()) of a second route (RT()) which is searched without using the traffic information. The traffic information used in searching the first route (RT()) to a target position (TP(k)) of a vehicle () is used in searching a route to a shared target position by a navigation device ().
