Abstract:
A route guidance unit includes: a detection unit configured to detect a position of a host vehicle; a guide unit configured to provide guidance on a travel route when a distance from the position of the host vehicle detected by the detection unit to a branch point on the travel route reaches a predetermined distance; and an accuracy determination unit configured to determine a degree of accuracy of the position of the host vehicle, wherein, when the accuracy determination unit determines that the degree of accuracy of the position is a predetermined threshold or less, the guide unit provides the guidance on the travel route at a point before the distance from the position of the host vehicle to the branch point reaches the predetermined distance.

Claim (Index 4):
A route guidance method used for a vehicle which provides a travel route to a predetermined destination or an autonomous vehicle which is autonomously driven along the travel route, the route guidance method comprising:\n estimating a position of a host vehicle and a travel lane; determining accuracy of the estimated travel lane of the host vehicle; and when the determined accuracy of the travel lane of the host vehicle is a predetermined threshold or less, leading the host vehicle to change lanes toward the travel route before a distance from the position of the host vehicle to a branch point on the travel route reaches a predetermined distance, wherein the accuracy of the travel lane of the host vehicle is the predetermined threshold or less, leading the host vehicle to change the travel lane to a rightmost lane or a leftmost lane.
