Abstract
A driving support image during a turn at an intersection is provided as a driving support by a driving support image display apparatus for a driver by the image display apparatus so that the driver can easily recognize a state ahead of his or her vehicle or a state into which the right turn is made. The driving support image is provided when a subject vehicle has reached a support starting point before the intersection based on provided information that is received from a roadside apparatus. After starting the display of the driving support image as an initial field of vision, the support image is shifted by gradually moving the field of vision of the driving support image from the initial field of vision at a predetermined timing for increased coverage of an opposite lane or a lane to be traveled after a turn.
