VEHICLE DRIVING OPERATION SUPPORT APPARATUS/PROCESS AND INDUCEMENT CONTROL
First Claim
1. A vehicle driving operation support apparatus comprising:
- a vehicle condition sensing section to sense a vehicle condition of a vehicle;
an obstacle condition sensing section to monitor a surrounding condition including an obstacle around the vehicle;
an operation input section to which a driver'"'"'s driving operation is inputted by a driver to operate the vehicle;
a motion regulating section to regulate a movement of the driver; and
a control sectionto calculate a risk potential to the obstacle in accordance with the vehicle condition and the surrounding condition,to provide an operational reaction to the driving operation in accordance with the risk potential; and
to produce a pseudo behavior simulating a vehicle behavior responsive to a driving operation increasing the risk potential, by controlling the motion regulating section in accordance with the risk potential.

Abstract
A vehicle driving operation support apparatus for a vehicle, includes a sensing section to sense a traveling condition of the vehicle including a surrounding condition inclusive of an obstacle around the vehicle, and a control section to calculate a risk potential for the vehicle in accordance with the traveling condition. The control section performs a support control to support the driver in accordance with the risk potential and performs an assist control to produce inducement simulating a condition change (such as a vehicle behavior) attributable to an increase of the risk potential, in accordance with the risk potential.
