1. A driving support system, comprising:
- a first vehicle which can receive running data; and
at least one second vehicle which can transmit the running data to the first vehicle;
wherein, in the first vehicle, a running path of the second vehicle is estimated based on plural pieces of positional information included in the running data transmitted from the second vehicle, a possibility that a running vector of the second vehicle, which is prepared based on positional information and speed information on the second vehicle, will intersect with a running vector of the first vehicle is determined using the estimated running path, and the running vector of the second vehicle is corrected using velocity information on a third vehicle running ahead of the second vehicle.

Abstract
A driving support apparatus included in a vehicle in a system which uses running data on another vehicle, that is transmitted from the other vehicle, is provided with extracting means for preparing vector mapping data including plural running vectors based on positional information and speed information transmitted from at least one other vehicle, and for extracting a running path of the at least one other vehicle from the prepared vector mapping data.

4. A driving support apparatus which is provided in a first vehicle and which is used in a system that uses running data of at least one second vehicle, that is transmitted from the second vehicle, comprising:
-
a communication portion which receives positional information and speed information on the second vehicle, an extracting portion which prepares vector mapping data including plural running vectors based on the plural pieces of positional information and speed information transmitted from the second vehicle, and which extracts a running path of the second vehicle from the prepared vector mapping data, and a determining portion which determines a possibility that a running vector of the second vehicle, that is prepared based on positional information and speed information on the second vehicle, will intersect with a running vector of the first vehicle using the extracted running path, wherein the determining portion determines the possibility that the running vector of the second vehicle will intersect with the running vector of the first vehicle, after correcting the running vector of the second vehicle using velocity information on a third vehicle running ahead of the second vehicle. - View Dependent Claims (5, 6, 7)

12. A driving support method in which a first vehicle uses running data of at least one second vehicle, that is transmitted from the second vehicle, comprising:
-
a first step of receiving positional information and speed information on the second vehicle; a second step of preparing vector mapping data including plural running vectors based on the plural pieces of positional information and speed information transmitted from the second vehicle; a third step of extracting a running path of the second vehicle from the prepared vector mapping data; and a fourth step of determining a possibility that a running vector of the second vehicle, that is prepared based on positional information and speed information on the second vehicle, will intersect with a running vector of the first vehicle using the extracted running path, wherein, in the fourth step, the possibility that that the running vector of the second vehicle will intersect with the running vector of the first vehicle is determined, after correcting the running vector of the second vehicle using velocity information on a third vehicle running ahead of the second vehicle. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15)
