Abstract
An awakening support device promotes awakening of a driver. The awakening support device includes: a vehicle state determiner that determines whether a vehicle of the driver is traveling or stopped; and a stimulus controller that controls a stimulus generation device that generates a stimulus used for supporting the awakening of the driver based on a result of determination by the vehicle state determiner. The stimulus controller causes the stimulus generation device to generate a stimulus more intense than a stimulus generated when the vehicle is determined to be traveling, when the vehicle state determiner determines that the vehicle is stopped.
