Abstract
A driving load estimation apparatus can estimate the driving load of individual drivers in accordance with the driving environment. The driving load estimation apparatus can include a first VACP calculator configured to calculate a first VACP value based on information related to a driving environment of a vehicle and a correction value calculator configured to calculate a VACP correction value of each driver based on a steering operation in the driving environment. The driving load estimation apparatus estimates a driving load of the driver by correcting the first VACP value based on the VACP correction value.
