Abstract
The driving support device is provided with: a speed acquisition unit for acquiring speed information of a vehicle; a distance information acquisition unit for acquiring information on the distance between the vehicle and an intersection; a running state judgment unit for judging a dangerous running state to be determined by a stop condition for causing the vehicle to stop in front of the intersection and an entry condition for causing the vehicle to enter the intersection, on the basis of the distance to the intersection, the speed of the vehicle, and signal information; a determination unit for determining whether to cause the vehicle to stop at the intersection or to pass through the intersection if the running state judgment unit judges that the vehicle is in the dangerous running state; and a specification unit for specifying a regeneration time zone when running accompanied with regenerative braking is performed or an inertia time zone when inertia running is performed, before the vehicle arrives at the intersection, depending on a result of determination by the determination unit.
