1. A driving support device comprising:
- a target vehicle speed obtaining unit that obtains a target vehicle speed at a predetermined position ahead of a host vehicle;
a deceleration pattern obtaining unit that obtains a plurality of deceleration patterns with different deceleration schemes for decelerating the host vehicle to the target vehicle speed;
a deceleration pattern selecting unit that selects a deceleration pattern from the plurality of deceleration patterns, based on a driving operation for controlling speed of the host vehicle; and
a deceleration control unit that reduces the vehicle speed of the host vehicle to the target vehicle speed before the host vehicle reaches the predetermined position, in accordance with the selected deceleration pattern.

Abstract
A target vehicle speed at a predetermined position ahead of a host vehicle is obtained, and a plurality of deceleration patterns with different deceleration schemes is obtained for decelerating the host vehicle to the target vehicle speed. Based on a driving operation for controlling speed of the host vehicle, a deceleration pattern is selected from the plurality of deceleration patterns. Using the selected deceleration pattern as a reference, the vehicle speed of the host vehicle is reduced to the target vehicle speed before the host vehicle reaches the predetermined position.
