Abstract
A driving support apparatus () converts at least one of a first map () and a second map () so that the first map () and the second map () become three-dimensional maps in a same coordinate system. The first map () is a three-dimensional map indicating three-dimensional positions of objects around a vehicle (). The second map () is a three-dimensional map indicating three-dimensional positions of objects around an external apparatus () that is one of a roadside apparatus () and a different vehicle () from the vehicle (). Then, the driving support apparatus () synthesizes the first map () and the second map () after the conversion, thereby generating a composite map ().
