Abstract
Provided is a vehicle stop support system for supporting vehicle stop in an emergency condition. The vehicle stop support system sets a target time period based on physical abnormality of a driver; sets an allowable lateral acceleration, based on the abnormality; estimates a time period required to reach each of a plurality of stop point candidates; estimates a lateral acceleration to be generated during traveling of a vehicle to each of the candidates; sets a stop point; and controls the vehicle to travel to the stop point and stop at the stop point. The system is operable to set, as the stop point, one of the candidates which satisfies a condition that the lateral acceleration estimated with respect thereto is equal to or less than the allowable lateral acceleration, and the required time period estimated with respect thereto is equal to or less than the target time period.
