Driving support apparatus

摘要

A driving support apparatus which performs driving support regarding a traffic signal 80 includes: a communication device 20 which acquires time-series traffic signal information regarding the lighting state of the traffic signal 80; a time calculating unit 12 which calculates the time remaining until the lighting state changes on the basis of the traffic signal information; and an output device 30 which notifies a driver of lighting time information regarding the time remaining. When the time remaining is equal to or smaller than a threshold value U, the output device 30 does not perform notification of the lighting time information so that it can be difficult for the driver to predict the timing at which a red lighting state of the traffic signal 80 will change. Accordingly, it becomes possible to suppress unsafe action by the driver based on the traffic signal information notification received.
