    摘要: A state estimation method executed by a state estimation apparatus including a processor and a memory storing program instructions that cause the processor to estimate a state related to congestion on a subject lane, includes acquiring a state related to congestion of a monitoring vehicle traveling on a non-subject lane, counting a number of vehicles traveling on the subject lane, the vehicles being overtaken by the monitoring vehicle or being oncoming vehicles passed by the monitoring vehicle, and estimating the state related to the congestion on the subject lane, using the state related to the congestion of the monitoring vehicle and the number of vehicles. In the estimating, when the number of the vehicles is equal to or greater than a threshold value according to the state related to the congestion of the monitoring vehicle, the state related to the congestion on the subject lane is estimated as traffic congestion.

    摘要: A position estimation unit 25 estimates, for each movement in a predetermined section, a plurality of position candidates of a position estimation target on the basis of position information and sensor information. A position determination unit 26 evaluates, for each movement in the predetermined section, on the basis of the plurality of position candidates of the position estimation target obtained by the movement in the predetermined section, whether the position information used to estimate the position candidates has an error caused by any of a position of a GPS satellite, a position of a mobile body in a real space, or the mobile body or does not have any error caused thereby. The position determination unit 26 determines a final output value of the position of the position estimation target on the basis of a result obtained by removing, from the plurality of estimated position candidates of the position estimation target in the plurality of times of the movement in the predetermined section, a position candidate of the position estimation target estimated in the movement in the predetermined section that has been evaluated to have the error.
