Driving support apparatus
First Claim
1. A driving support apparatus which supports driving of a vehicle, comprising:
- a support control device configured to calculate, based on a remaining distance from a stop position at which the vehicle stops by stop indication of a first traffic signal located in a travel direction of the vehicle to a point of the first traffic signal, an estimated variation distance for a second traffic signal located in the travel direction of the vehicle after the first traffic signal, and create a target vehicle travel state obtained by changing timing to start stopping support at the second traffic signal based on the estimated variation distance; and
a support device capable of outputting driving support information to support the driving of the vehicle based on a target travel state quantity calculated by the support control device.

Abstract
A driving support apparatus is provided with a support control device configured to calculate, based on a remaining distance from a stop position at which a vehicle stops by stop indication of a first traffic signal located in a travel direction of the vehicle to a point of the first traffic signal, an estimated variation distance for a second traffic signal located in the travel direction of the vehicle after the first traffic signal, and create a target vehicle travel state obtained by changing timing to start stopping support at the second traffic signal based on the estimated variation distance; and a support device capable of outputting driving support information to support driving of the vehicle based on a target travel state quantity of the vehicle.

4. The driving support apparatus according to claim wherein
the support control device corrects a target vehicle speed at the time braking by brake is started for the second traffic signal based on the estimated variation distance, and creates the target vehicle travel state further based on the corrected target vehicle speed at the time the braking by brake is started, thereby changing the timing to start the stopping support.
