Abstract: A method to assist a driving of a vehicle comprising the steps of: executing a travel assist control for avoiding a risk factor in front of the vehicle based on driving environment information of the vehicle; counting a time during which a vehicle operation requiring an operator of the vehicle to stop the execution of the travel assist control is detected after the start of the execution of the travel assist control; and stopping the execution of the travel assist control when the time exceeds a specified time. The method further comprising the steps of: evaluating an associated risk caused by a continuation of the execution of the travel assist control based on the driving environment information during counting of the time during which the detection of the vehicle operation continues; and shortening the specified time based on a result of the evaluation of the associated risk.

Abstract: A method for supporting driving of a vehicle includes: a step of performing departure preventing control including steering control for preventing the vehicle from departing from a driving lane for the vehicle; and a step of starting, when an operative condition for risk avoiding control including steering control for avoiding a risk factor ahead of the vehicle is satisfied during performance of the departure preventing control, the risk avoiding control from an end timing of the departure preventing control. The operative condition for the risk avoiding control includes that a longitudinal distance from the vehicle to the risk factor is not more than a reference distance. The method further includes a step of expanding the reference distance during performance of the departure preventing control.

Abstract: The driving support device includes a line of sight detection unit that detects a line of sight of an occupant of the first following vehicle on the oncoming lane, a moving person estimation unit that estimates whether or not there is a possibility of a crossing moving person being present around the leading vehicle based on the detected line of sight, and a driving support unit that performs deceleration control of the host vehicle and the like when it is estimated that there is a possibility of a crossing moving person being present.
