Original Abstract Submitted
A vehicle driving support device includes a surrounding environment recognition unit, a travel control unit, and a collision avoidance controller. The collision avoidance controller is configured to estimate a position of a vehicle and generate a forecast traveling path thereof when turning across an opposite lane at an intersection, recognize an oncoming vehicle traveling on each of lanes of the opposite lane, based on surrounding environment information acquired by the surrounding environment recognition unit, detect, for each lane, a collision forecast position at which the forecast traveling path intersects with a traveling path of the oncoming vehicle, and forecast a collision of the vehicle with the oncoming vehicle, determine whether to execute collision avoidance control in which the travel control unit operates a brake driver, for the collision forecast position, and dispose the collision avoidance control such that kinetic energy remains in the vehicle in a traveling direction.
