1. A driving support device comprising:
- a risk prediction unit that predicts a risk of contact between a host vehicle and obstacles around the host vehicle when the host vehicle travels by a driving action related to at least one normative action candidate, which is a normative driving action candidate of the host vehicle for surrounding conditions of the host vehicle,wherein the risk prediction unit calculates an existence probability of the obstacle as a one dimensional integral calculation at a cross point between a predicted path of the host vehicle and a predicted path of the obstacle in a space having the position and speed of the host vehicle and the obstacle on the predicted path as coordinate axes, andwherein the risk prediction unit predicts the risk of contact between the host vehicle and the obstacle by integrating the existence probability of the obstacle over a time between a time when the head of the host vehicle passes through the cross point and a time when the tail of the host vehicle passes through the cross point.

Abstract
An ECU of a driving support device predicts the risk of contact between a host vehicle and obstacles around the host vehicle when the host vehicle travels by a driving action related to at least one normative action candidate, which is a normative driving action candidate of the host vehicle for the surrounding conditions of the host vehicle. Therefore, it is possible to provide the normative action candidates considering the risk of contact between the host vehicle and the obstacles around the host vehicle.

2. A driving support device comprising:
-
a risk prediction unit that predicts a risk of contact between a host vehicle and obstacles around the host vehicle when the host vehicle travels by a driving action related to at least one normative action candidate, which is a normative driving action candidate of the host vehicle for surrounding conditions of the host vehicle; and a movement efficiency acquiring unit that acquires movement efficiency when the host vehicle travels by the driving action related to the normative action candidate, wherein the risk prediction unit calculates an existence probability of the obstacle as a one dimensional integral calculation at a cross point between a predicted path of the host vehicle and a predicted path of the obstacle in a space having the position and speed of the host vehicle and the obstacle on the predicted path as coordinate axes, and wherein the risk prediction unit predicts the risk of contact between the host vehicle and the obstacle by integrating the existence probability of the obstacle over a time between a time when the head of the host vehicle passes through the cross point and a time when the tail of the host vehicle passes through the cross point.
