Driving model creating apparatus and driving support apparatus

A driving model creating apparatus for creating a driving model indicating a driving state of a vehicle, the apparatus comprising:

• a driving support control computer configured to create the driving model on the basis of road information, which is information relating to the driving environment of the vehicle, and driving information, which is information relating to changes in the driving state of the vehicle as a result of a driving operation of a driver, and wherein
• the driving support control computer is configured to make a model contribution rate of the driving information, which is a contribution rate of the driving information to the driving model to be created, variable in accordance with the road information, wherein
• the driving support control computer is configured to make the model contribution rate of the driving information is configured to be reduced when the road information indicates a driving environment in which freedom in a steering operation by the driver is smaller than a first threshold value and the difference between the driving model selected as corresponding to the driving environment and the driving information is smaller than a second threshold value, wherein
• the driving support control computer is configured to make a difference in the driving information as information relating to a driving state generated between driving operations is smaller than a third threshold value based on the driving operation of the vehicle within a limited steering operation range and the driving operation of the vehicle tends to be stable.

A driving support apparatus for supporting a driving operation of a driver of a vehicle on the basis of a driving model indicating a driving state of the vehicle, the apparatus comprising:

• a driving support control computer configured to create the driving model on the basis of changes in the vehicle driving state as a result of the driving operation of the driver, and
• the driving support control computer configured to make a support contribution rate of the driving model, which is a contribution rate of the driving model to the driving support, variable on the basis of road information, which is information indicating the vehicle driving environment, wherein
• the driving support control computer is configured to make the support contribution rate of the driving model when information relating to a road marking on a road surface is not included in the road information smaller than the support contribution rate of the driving model when the information relating to the road marking is included in the road information, wherein
• the driving support control computer is configured to make the driving information as information relating to the driving state reflects the stable driving state when the information relating to the road marking is included in the road information.
