An apparatus according to one aspect of the present invention determines whether or not platoon vehicles can pass through an intersection, and includes: a calculation unit that calculates a first distance, a second distance, and a third distance described below; and a determination unit that determines whether or not the platoon vehicles can pass through the intersection, based on a result of comparison of the first distance with the second and third distances. First distance: a distance from a stop line of the intersection to a position of a leading vehicle at the present time. Second distance: a distance obtained by subtracting a platoon length from a distance of traveling for a remaining green interval at a vehicle speed at the present time. Third distance: a distance required for the leading vehicle to safely stop before the stop line of the intersection, with the vehicle speed at the present time.
