The objective is to improve driving feeling at a time of acceleration operation or deceleration operation, by recognizing driver's intention of acceleration or deceleration during straight-ahead running. A driving-assistance control apparatus according to the present disclosure includes

Driving-assistance control apparatus

The posture of the driver is detected from the driver head portion, and the detected value and the driver mounting determination value are used to determine that the driver is pushing the vehicle and obtain the vehicle pushing command value. Converts the vehicle pushing command value to the target vehicle pushing assistance vesicle speed, determines whether vehicle pushing assistance can be performed based on the driver's posture and the vehicle condition, and outputs the vehicle pushing assistance permission determination. Then, from the target vehicle pushing assistance vehicle speed and the vehicle pushing assistance permission determination, the control amount for the vehicle power source that assists the vehicle pushing is calculated and output.

Driving support device

Provided are a driver posture measurement device and a vehicle control device that can accurately measure the posture of a driver with a simple configuration without attaching a plurality of wireless communication units to a vehicle. The driver posture measurement device and the vehicle control device are configured such that, between one wireless communication unit provided on the vehicle side and one wireless communication unit provided on the driver side, radio waves are radiated from the wireless communication unit provided on the vehicle side, and on the basis of a radio wave arrival angle of the radio waves arriving at the wireless communication unit provided on the driver side, the driver posture is measured.
