DRIVING SUPPORT APPARATUS

摘要

A driving support apparatus for performing a driving support with respect to a traffic light (80) comprises: a communication device (20) for acquiring time-series traffic light information on the lighting states of the traffic light (80); a time calculation unit (12) for calculating, according to the traffic light information, the remaining time until a lighting state changes; and an output device (30) for notifying the driver of lighting time information on the remaining time. The output device (30), when the remaining time is equal to a threshold value (U) or less, does not notify of the lighting time information. This can make it difficult for the driver to predict a timing at which the red lighting state of the traffic light (80) changes, so that it is possible to prevent the driver from taking an unsafe action according to the notified traffic light information.
