A driving assistance apparatus including an approach detection part detecting an approach of a railway vehicle along a travel path from a diagonally backward of a subject vehicle to the subject vehicle without using a road-to-vehicle communication, a notification part notifying a driver of information and a microprocessor. The microprocessor is configured to perform estimating a traveling direction of the subject vehicle at an intersection, and controlling the notification part so as to notify the driver of the approach of the railway vehicle when the traveling direction crossing the travel path is estimated and the approach of the railway vehicle to the subject vehicle is detected by the approach detection part.

Driving assistance apparatus

A driving assistance apparatus including a display part, a distance measurement part measuring inter-vehicle distance from a subject vehicle to a preceding vehicle and a microprocessor. The microprocessor is configured to perform acquiring traffic light information including switching information on a traffic light and position information on the subject vehicle with respect to the traffic light, deriving a recommended driving for the driver based on the traffic light information and the position information, and controlling the display part so as to notify the driver of information on the recommended driving, the controlling including controls the display part so as to display a first image corresponding to the recommended driving when the inter-vehicle distance is larger than a predetermined value and to display a second image as warning information together with the first image when the inter-vehicle distance is equal to or smaller than the predetermined value.
