Abstract

Track information generating devices, methods, and programs acquire a self-contained navigation track of a vehicle indicated by time-series pieces of self-contained navigation information, acquire a matching track of the vehicle indicated by time-series pieces of information determined through a map matching process is determined as a road the vehicle is traveling, and acquire a degree of reliability of the matching track. The devices, methods, and programs acquire a GPS track that is a track of the vehicle indicated by time-series pieces of GPS information, acquire a degree of reliability of the GPS track, and set the one of the GPS track and the matching track having a higher degree of reliability as a correction target track to correct the self-contained navigation information so as to reduce a difference between the self-contained navigation track and the correction target track.
