Abstract

A vehicle driving support apparatus includes a forward environment recognizing device configured to recognize a traveling environment forward of a vehicle, a control device configured to perform adaptive cruise control and active lane keep centering control based on the recognized traveling environment, an electric power steering device configured to control a turning angle of wheels in a ganged manner in accordance with a steering angle received from a steering handle, and a driver monitoring system configured to detect changes in biological information of a driver who drives the vehicle. When the driver monitoring system detects a drop in alertness of the driver, the control device is configured to perform the adaptive cruise control and the active lane keep centering control and execute a steering handle idle mode that stops the electric power steering device from controlling the turning angle in the ganged manner in accordance with the steering angle.
