Abstract
In a driving support system, a target speed profile computing unit determines a target speed on the basis of a safe-condition confirmation end point that is set to a predetermined position in a travel direction of a host vehicle. The safe-condition confirmation end point is a point at which the host vehicle passes through a section following the safe-condition confirmation end point in advance of a moving object that appears from blind areas. In this way, by determining the target speed based on the safe-condition confirmation end point, the drive support control unit is able to support driving in consideration of driving action at the time when the driver actually causes the host vehicle to pass through near the blind areas. Thus, it is possible to appropriately support driving along a feeling of the driver such that inconvenience and a feeling of strangeness are reduced.
