<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a driving support apparatus for vehicles, which suppresses the increase of fuel consumption when evading the collision of vehicles with each other at an intersection by utilizing communication such as vehicle-to-vehicle communication. <P>SOLUTION: The driving support apparatus for vehicles includes: an intersection detection means 1 for detecting an intersection, in which an own vehicle is approaching and which does not have a traffic light; a communication means 2 for exchanging the data of fuel consumption or the like between the own vehicle and the other vehicles; a crossing vehicle extraction means 3 for extracting a crossing vehicle, which is predicted to collide with the own vehicle at the intersection, among the other vehicles; a vehicle group setting means 4 for setting the own vehicle and a series of vehicles following the own vehicle as an own vehicle group and setting the crossing vehicle and a series of vehicles following the crossing vehicle as a crossing vehicle group; a fuel consumption comparison means 5 for obtaining the fuel consumption efficiency of each of the own vehicle group and the crossing vehicle group, and comparing obtained each of the fuel consumption efficiency with each other; and a travel control instruction means 6 for instructing the change of a vehicle speed to the respective vehicles of a low fuel consumption vehicle group so that the own vehicle group and the crossing vehicle group can pass through the intersection without colliding with each other. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT</p> |
