A driving assistance apparatus 1 includes: a brake-on-vehicle-speed estimation unit 41, which estimates a brake-on vehicle speed Vbrk as a vehicle speed at which a driver of a vehicle 2 starts a brake operation, based on a road surface gradient ¸ and an approaching vehicle speed Vin; a deceleration-operation-point calculating unit 42, which calculates location information of a deceleration-operation point where the driver of the vehicle 2 starts a deceleration operation, based on the estimated brake-on vehicle speed Vbrk; and a deceleration-assistance control unit 43 and a HMI device 5, which present driving assistance information for prompting the driver of the vehicle 2 to perform the deceleration operation corresponding to the calculated location information of the deceleration-operation point and a running position of the vehicle 2, as information presentation means. Thus, when the driving assistance for teaching the driver the deceleration operation is performed, the driver can be less likely to feel uncomfortable. |
