Abstract

A vehicle state determination device includes an input unit and a controller. The input unit receives sidewalk information indicating a state of a sidewalk region which a moving body passes through and roadway information indicating a state of a roadway region adjacent to the sidewalk region. The controller determines whether or not a sidewalk entering operation is possible based on the sidewalk information and the roadway information. The sidewalk entering operation is an operation in which a vehicle trying to enter the roadway region by crossing the sidewalk region enters the sidewalk region.
