==Original Abstract Submitted==

An object of the present disclosure is to determine a travelable area with high accuracy even when other mobile objects exist in the vicinity. The travel area determination device includes an integration unit configured to integrate surrounding travel area information and travel area information, and an autonomous travel determination unit configured to determine an autonomous travelable area based on the integrated travel area information. A travel area creation unit is configured to determine a free space as a travelable area where a subject vehicle is travelable. The integration unit is configured to determine a travelable area where the surrounding mobile object is travelable as a surrounding travelable area where the subject vehicle is travelable, and integrate it and the travel area information. The autonomous travel determination unit is configured to determine the travelable area and the surrounding travelable area of the subject mobile object as the autonomous travelable areas.
