Abstract

A brake assistance apparatus for a vehicle is provided. The brake assistance apparatus includes a detecting unit and a brake assistance control unit. The detecting unit detects a state surrounding an own vehicle. The brake assistance control unit performs brake assistance to brake the own vehicle at a first brake timing, based on the detected state surrounding the own vehicle. In response to the own vehicle being determined to be advancing at an intersection based on the detected state surrounding the own vehicle, the brake assistance control unit performs the brake assistance at a second brake timing that is later than the first brake timing.
