Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A travel support apparatus includes: a rear sensor that detects an obstacle behind a vehicle; and a rear contact prevention device that controls travel of the vehicle to prevent contact between the vehicle and the obstacle detected by the rear sensor as the vehicle backs up. The rear contact prevention device prevents contact between the vehicle and the obstacle detected by the rear sensor as the vehicle backs up, by performing first travel control to apply at least one of speed limitation and deceleration to the vehicle, without requiring an operation performed by a driver of the vehicle, and then performs second travel control to reduce an operation amount set in the first travel control.
