To provide a driving support technology capable of performing driving support with respect to an intersection X at much more appropriate timing.
This driving support technology for supporting a driver to an intersection X existing ahead of the traveling direction of one's own vehicle includes: estimating a traveling resistance β produced on the own vehicle, and predicting the operation of acceleration and deceleration instruction by a driver when the vehicle approaches the intersection X, and supporting the driver when it is determined that driving support is necessary based on a distance L to the intersection X existing ahead of the traveling direction of the own vehicle, the predicted operation of the acceleration and deceleration instruction and the operation of the acceleration and deceleration instruction by the driver.
