TRAVEL SUPPORT APPARATUS

摘要

A travel support apparatus includes: a rear sensor (12) that detects an obstacle behind a vehicle (11); and a rear contact prevention device (20) that controls travel of the vehicle (11) to prevent contact between the vehicle (11) and the obstacle detected by the rear sensor (12) as the vehicle (11) backs up. When the obstacle approaches a range in which detection of the obstacle by the rear sensor (12) is impossible as the vehicle (11) backs up, the rear contact prevention device (20) controls travel of the vehicle (11) based on a distance between the obstacle and the vehicle (11) estimated based on a distance traveled by the vehicle (11) from a position in which detection of the obstacle by the rear sensor (12) is possible.
