Abstract
A status determination apparatus determining a driver status in a movable body is provided. The status determination apparatus includes a behavior acquisition portion, a check portion, a determination portion, and a range change portion. The behavior acquisition portion obtains behavior information as present behavior information. The behavior information represents behavior of the movable body. The check portion collates the present behavior information with a threshold region representing a range of the behavior information at time when a driver drives absentmindedly. When the threshold region includes the present behavior information, the determination portion determines that the driver drives absentmindedly. The range change portion changes the threshold region. When the range change portion changes the threshold region, the driver is not determined that the driver drives absentmindedly when a driving support control is executed, and the check portion collates the present behavior information with the changed threshold region.
