Abstract:
A driving assistance apparatus includes: a registration processing unit configured to register, as an assistance location, an assistance location candidate detected as a location at which driving assistance for an own vehicle is necessary if the assistance location candidate satisfies a registration condition; and a region segmentation unit configured to set a first activity region in which an activity frequency of the own vehicle is estimated to be relatively high and a second activity region in which an activity frequency of the own vehicle is estimated to be relatively low. In a case where the assistance location candidate falls in the second activity region, the registration processing unit relaxes the registration condition compared to a case of falling in the first activity region (the assistance location candidate).

Claim (Index 1):
A driving assistance apparatus comprising:\n a location detection unit configured to detect, as an assistance location candidate, a location at which driving assistance for an own vehicle is necessary in a driving area of the own vehicle; a registration processing unit configured to register the assistance location candidate as an assistance location if the assistance location candidate detected by the location detection unit satisfies a registration condition; a driving assistance unit configured to provide driving assistance to the own vehicle at the assistance location registered by the registration processing unit; and a region segmentation unit configured to segment the driving area to set a first activity region in which an activity frequency of the own vehicle is estimated to be relatively high and a second activity region in which the activity frequency of the own vehicle is estimated to be relatively low, wherein in a case where the assistance location candidate falls in the second activity region, the registration processing unit relaxes the registration condition compared to a case of falling in the first activity region.
