Abstract:
A driving support apparatus is provided with a support control device configured to calculate, based on a remaining distance from a stop position at which a vehicle stops by stop indication of a first traffic signal located in a travel direction of the vehicle to a point of the first traffic signal, an estimated variation distance for a second traffic signal located in the travel direction of the vehicle after the first traffic signal, and create a target vehicle travel state obtained by changing timing to start stopping support at the second traffic signal based on the estimated variation distance; and a support device capable of outputting driving support information to support driving of the vehicle based on a target travel state quantity of the vehicle.
