Patent ID: 8725309

Claim:
A safety driving support apparatus, comprising: a traffic obstacle detection section that detects a moving object including a vehicle other than one's vehicle or a pedestrian present in a periphery of one's vehicle, the moving object and a traffic regulation substance, or the moving object and a road shape, and detects a position or a movement state of the moving object when the traffic obstacle detection section detects the moving object; a speed change induced event selection section that selects a speed change induced event which is defined as an event in relation to a first moving object or the traffic regulation substance and of inducing a change in speed of a second moving object on the basis of a detection result in the traffic obstacle detection section when the traffic obstacle detection section detects at least one of the first moving object, the traffic regulation substance and the road shape and further detects the second moving object; a speed change induced event detection section that determines a presence or absence of occurrence of the selected speed change induced event; a speed change detection section that determines a presence or absence of occurrence of the change in speed of the second moving object when the traffic obstacle detection section detects the occurrence of the selected speed change induced event; and a dangerous moving object detection section that determines the second moving object as a dangerous moving object when the speed change induced event detection section detects the change in speed of the second moving object.
