Driving support apparatus

摘要

A driving support apparatus which performs driving support regarding a traffic signal includes: a communication device which acquires time-series traffic signal information regarding the lighting state of the traffic signal; a time calculating unit which calculates the time remaining until the lighting state changes on the basis of the traffic signal information; and an output device 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, the output device 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 will change. Accordingly, it becomes possible to suppress unsafe action by the driver based on the traffic signal information notification received.

1. A driving support system which performs driving support regarding a traffic signal, comprising:
a receiver configured to receive time-series traffic signal information regarding a lighting state of the traffic signal; and a display configured to notify a driver of lighting time information regarding a time remaining until the lighting state changes, wherein the display does not perform notification of the lighting time information when the time remaining is equal to or smaller than a predetermined value, and wherein the predetermined value is greater than 1 second.
