PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a driving support device capable of correctly estimating a traveling direction of the preceding vehicle in all cases regardless of road-width, the size of a vehicle, or the like, and to provide a driving support method applied for the driving support device. SOLUTION: The driving support device includes a large turn operation estimating part 9 for estimating, when the preceding vehicle turns to one direction between a right direction and a left direction, that the preceding vehicle turns while performing a large turn operation to turn in which turning is made to one direction and then turning is made to the other direction, and performs driving support on the basis of an estimation result of the large turning operation estimating part 9. When the large turn operation estimating part 9 estimates that the preceding vehicle performs a large turn operation, the driving support device can perform driving support, such as to give a warning to the driver and to operate a brake, thereby preventing its own vehicle from advancing into a space that is temporarily generated by the large turn operation of the preceding vehicle.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a traveling course generation apparatus and a traveling control apparatus in which a traveling course can be generated within a predetermined time completely without performing control to stop a present vehicle and accuracy for a desired traveling course can be maintained to a certain extent.SOLUTION: A traveling course generation ECU 10 includes a traveling course calculation section 13 which generates the traveling course. On the basis of a present vehicle position and a target arrival position, the traveling course calculation section 13 generates the traveling course in accordance with a deformation method. Furthermore, when a solution of the traveling course cannot be discovered within a predetermined time by the deformation method, the traveling course is generated according to a step planner method of which the calculation time is shorter than that of the deformation method.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a risk determination system capable of properly determining the risk of a blind spot.SOLUTION: The risk determination system 1 includes: a blind spot detection section 11 for detecting a blind spot formed by an obstacle present around an own vehicle M; an oncoming vehicle information acquisition section 12 for acquiring inter-vehicle distance information on a plurality of oncoming vehicles traveling on an opposite lane RN; and a risk determination section 15 for determining a risk of a first blind spot Bt on the basis of the inter-vehicle distance information on the oncoming vehicle traveling near the first blind spot Bt positioned closer on the side of the oncoming lane RN than on the side of the own vehicle M in the blind spot. By using the risk determination system 1, even if another vehicle Nv rushing out of the first blind spot Bt, when the inter-vehicle distance of the oncoming vehicle traveling near the first blind spot Bt is narrow, since a risk that the another car Nv rushes out to the side of the own vehicle M is low, the risk of the first blind spot Bt can be properly determined on the basis of the inter-vehicle distance information on the oncoming vehicle.
