Title:

DRIVING SUPPORT DEVICE AND DRIVING SUPPORT METHOD

Document Type and Number:

WIPO Patent Application WO/2016/027351

Kind Code:

A1

Abstract:

In a driving support device, an object detecting unit detects an object in front of a subject vehicle. On the basis of the current position of the subject vehicle and a travel route of the subject vehicle, included in road information, the driving support device detects right/left turn information indicating that the subject vehicle will cross an oncoming traffic lane to turn right or left at an intersection after a certain period of time. If right/left turn information is detected, then on the basis of the road information and a detection result from the object detecting unit, the driving support device determines the presence or absence of a waiting vehicle waiting within the intersection to turn right or left from the oncoming traffic lane, and estimates a blind spot, in relation to the object detecting unit, in the oncoming traffic lane, formed by the waiting vehicle. The driving support device establishes a waiting region in which the subject vehicle is to wait to turn right or left, on the basis of the estimated blind spot.
