<p>There is provided a driving support apparatus and a driving support method that enable implementation of an effective driving support by appropriately determining necessity of the driving support. A driving support apparatus 1 includes a collision time prediction unit 31 that predicts a TTC and a TTV, a driving support determination unit 35 that applies the TTC and TTV to a map M and determines whether the driving support in the host vehicle is to be implemented or not, a driving support control unit 39 that controls the driving support in the host vehicle, an extension mode determination unit 37 that determines whether a speed of the moving object in a direction crossing the traveling direction is equal to or less than a first threshold value and whether the TTC is equal to or less than a second threshold value or not, and determines that the driving support is to be implemented in the host vehicle in a case where the above conditions are satisfied. In a case where the extension mode determination unit 37 determines that the driving support is to be implemented, even in a case where the driving support determination unit 35 determines that the driving support is not to be implemented, driving support control unit 39 continues to implement the driving support in the host vehicle.</p> |
