Conventionally, a method in which pieces of point group information for use in position matching between a white line position detected by an object detection sensor and a white line position on a map are extracted from the white line positions according to a travel environment, has not been taken into account. In the present disclosure, a point group extraction condition is changed according to change in the travel environment so that: a process of position matching that exhibits robustness with respect to change in the travel environment can be realized; and an own position and a white line position existing at a long distance from an own vehicle can be detected with high accuracy.
