Abstract
A vehicle collision avoidance supporting apparatus may include a situation determination unit configured to determine whether it is a situation that there exists no moving object proceeding in a direction crossing a traveling direction of the vehicle; a first sensor and configured to detect an object ahead of the vehicle; and an avoidance operation controller configured to cause the vehicle to perform a predetermined avoidance operation for avoiding a collision in accordance with a detection result of the first sensor in a determination region ahead of the vehicle. The avoidance operation controller uses a region which is narrower in a direction perpendicular to the travelling direction and parallel to a horizontal direction as the determination region when it is the situation that there exists no moving object than when it is not the situation that there exists no moving object.
