Abstract
Provided is a driving support apparatus for a vehicle. When a stop signal is recognized by a stereo image recognition device, a cruise control unit calculates a traffic signal target acceleration for making a subject vehicle stop at a stop position of the stop signal. When a follow-up cruise target acceleration is not calculated and the traffic signal target acceleration is calculated, the cruise control unit substitutes the traffic signal target acceleration for the follow-up cruise target acceleration. When the follow-up cruise target acceleration and the traffic signal target acceleration are calculated and the traffic signal target acceleration is smaller than the follow-up cruise target acceleration, the cruise control unit substitutes the value of the traffic signal target acceleration for the follow-up cruise target acceleration.
