Abstract
A driving assistance method includes extracting an interference traffic line that is a route along which another vehicle can move and that interferes with a planned travel route of a subject vehicle. The method also includes determining a necessary length of the extracted interference traffic line of the other vehicle, which length is necessary for determining a driving action of the subject vehicle, on the basis of at least one of a shape of a road, a traffic rule, and a traffic situation. The method further includes determining the driving action of the subject vehicle to respond to the other vehicle moving along the interference traffic line using a range of the determined necessary length of the interference traffic line as a determination object.
