摘要

A driving support apparatus has an awakening effect generation means for generating an awakening effect. A current spot information acquisition means receives current spot information. A driving support information acquisition means acquires driving support information including a plurality of kinds of warning information corresponding to the area and information related to the warning information. An awakening effect control means specifies a warning target area on the basis of the information related to the warning information, generates the awakening effect from a position before the warning target area, and controls the operation of the awakening effect on the basis of the warning information included in the acquired driving support information in the warning target area. Thus, the driving support apparatus can acquire the driving support information on areas around the current spot, specify the warning target area on the basis of the contents of the driving support information, and generate the awakening effect before the vehicle having the driving support apparatus mounted therein reaches the warning target area.
