Abstract
A driving support apparatus for ensuring consistency of content for multiple driving supports related to vehicle acceleration/deceleration. The driving support apparatus is provided with a follow-up running support unit for performing acceleration/deceleration support for a vehicle. A collision-avoidance support unit avoids a collision with a moving body when the relationship between the vehicle and a moving body having a movement path intersecting with the path of the vehicle is determined to meet support conditions for invoking collision-avoidance support. An estimation unit estimates that the relationship between the vehicle and the moving body meets the support conditions for invoking collision-avoidance support using the acceleration/deceleration support by the follow-up running support unit. An adjustment unit adjusts the degree of acceleration/deceleration support by the follow-up running support unit on the basis of the relationship between the vehicle and the moving body having been estimated to meet the support conditions.
