Abstract
A map information system includes a database management device configured to manage a map database used for vehicle driving support control. The map database includes road marking map information that indicates a position of a specific road marking including at least one of a stop line and a pedestrian crossing. The database management device is further configured to: detect a road marking candidate being a candidate for the specific road marking around a vehicle; recognize vehicle behavior of at least one of the vehicle and another vehicle in a period when passing the road marking candidate; determine, based on the vehicle behavior, an evaluation value that indicates certainty of the road marking candidate being the specific road marking; and register the road marking candidate having the evaluation value equal to or higher than a threshold, as the specific road marking, in the road marking map information.
