A driver can be presented with a route option giving high driving comfort. A receiver receives a plurality of route options from a terminal device mounted on a vehicle. A driving plan generation module sets, for each of the plurality of received route options, a traveling time of a section in which automatic driving of the vehicle is to be used and a traveling time of a section in which the vehicle is to be manually driven. A comfort calculation module calculates driving comfort of a driver for each of the plurality of route options based on the traveling time of the section in which automatic driving of the vehicle is to be used and the traveling time of the section in which the vehicle is to be manually driven.
