Original Abstract Submitted

a travel planner identifies, for a connection point where a travel lane in which a vehicle is traveling connects ahead of the vehicle with another lane different from the travel lane, an entry time range representing a time range during which entry of the vehicle from the travel lane to the connection point is recommended, and creates a travel plan including a transition of travel speed of the vehicle from a current position of the vehicle to the connection point so as to arrive at the connection point within the entry time range.
