Zusammenfassung:A monitoring device has a processor configured to determine a degree to which a driver is participating in driving, determine whether a merging terrain exists in which an adjacent lane vanishes by merging with the traveling lane, within a predetermined range from a current location of the vehicle, and alert the driver to be attentive to vehicle surroundings regardless of whether or not the merging terrain exists, when it has been determined that the degree to which the driver is participating in driving is low and speed of the vehicle exceeds a reference speed, or to alert the driver to be attentive to the vehicle surroundings only when it has been determined that the merging terrain exists, when it has been determined that the degree to which the driver is participating in driving is low and the speed of the vehicle does not exceed the reference speed.
