A driving support apparatus according the embodiment includes: a determination unit that determines driving support control having a driving support resource amount that is capable of assuring required resources with respect to a resource amount that is capable of being assured by a level of a vehicle driver's concentration on driving, the required resources being assumed to be required for safe driving; and a driving support unit that changes the driving support control to be performed to driving support control that is determined by the determination unit to be capable of assuring the required resources.

Driving support apparatus, driving support method, and computer program product

A driving assistance device of one embodiment includes an acquirer that acquires first environmental information representing an environment of a traveling point of a vehicle after elapse of a given length of time from a current traveling point of the vehicle, a check information storage that stores second environmental information representing an environment of a point at which the vehicle has traveled and check action information representing a driver's necessary action under the environment indicated by the second environmental information, in association with each other, an action information storage that stores third environmental information and actual action information representing an actual action of the driver under the environment indicated by the third environmental information, in association with each other, a comparer that compares the check action information, which is associated with the second environmental information of the environment indicated by the first environmental information in the check information storage, with the actual action information, which is associated with the third environmental information of the environment indicated by the first environmental information in the action information storage, and a notifier that issues a notification on the basis of a result of the comparison by the comparer.

Driving assistance device

A micromachined pump apparatus,includes a substrate,having upper and lower surfaces and a plurality of lengthwise arranged apertures,A-,E, each of which has an upper surface opening and a lower surface opening. A plurality of diaphragms,A-,E close the upper surface openings of the apertures,A-,E, respectively. A guide plate,is fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the substrate,and defines a passage,through which an object fluid is moved by cooperating with the diaphragms on the upper surface of the substrate,. A base plate,is fixedly mounted at its upper surface on the lower surface of the substrate,, thereby enclosing an operating fluid in each of the apertures,A-,E. An electrically operated heater device,is provided on the upper surface of the base plate,for heating the fluids in the apertures,A-,E, respectively, in such a manner that whenever the fluids are heated the resultant expansion of the respective operating fluid expands the diaphragms, respectively, toward the passage. The expansions of the diaphragms,A-,E are made in sequence, thereby forcing the object fluid to move through the passage
