Claim Text:
1. A driving support apparatus which is installed in a vehicle, the apparatus comprising: an actual longitudinal acceleration specifying section which specifies actual longitudinal acceleration of the vehicle; a target longitudinal acceleration specifying section which specifies target longitudinal acceleration of the vehicle; and an acceleration and deceleration instruction section which allows acceleration and deceleration control so that the actual longitudinal acceleration specified by the actual longitudinal acceleration specifying section coincides with the target longitudinal acceleration specified by the target longitudinal acceleration specifying section, wherein the target longitudinal acceleration specifying section specifies the target longitudinal acceleration so that traveling stability of the vehicle, which is represented by a Lissajous curve of a circle or an ellipse, is maintained, and a relationship between longitudinal acceleration and lateral acceleration, in which lateral acceleration of the vehicle is advanced or delayed in phase with respect to longitudinal acceleration, is satisfied.
