Abstract
A drive support apparatus, including a support processor that sets a support level according to a collision risk determined by a collision possibility determiner, when a traveling road is not determined as a priority road by a travel road information obtainer, and outputs support information. Further, the support processor determines whether a visibility state is good, and determines whether a display state of a signal device is giving a right of way to the self-vehicle, when the traveling road is not determined as a priority road by the travel road information obtainer, and outputs support information. Then, upon having a determination that the visibility state is compromised, or that the display state of the signal device is abstained from giving a right of way to the self-vehicle, the support processor outputs the support information even when the traveling road is a priority road.
