Abstract: A vehicle driving assistance device includes a processor. The processor is configured to execute acceleration suppression control for suppressing acceleration of a driver's vehicle in a case where a predetermined prohibition condition is not satisfied when an erroneous acceleration operation precondition is satisfied while a traveling condition is satisfied. The traveling condition is a condition for determining that the driver's vehicle is traveling. The erroneous acceleration operation precondition is a precondition for determining that an acceleration operation is erroneously performed. The acceleration operation is an operation performed by a driver of the driver's vehicle to request the acceleration of the driver's vehicle. The predetermined prohibition condition is based on a relationship between the driver's vehicle and an external environment of the driver's vehicle.

Abstract: A driving assistance apparatus includes a parking lot staying determination section which determines whether or not a vehicle is present in a parking lot having a parking row including parking slots and/or parked vehicles located adjacent to each other, an erroneous operation determination section which determines whether or not an occupant has erroneously stepped on an acceleration operation element, and a control section which executes driving power reduction control upon determination that the vehicle is present in the parking lot and that the occupant has performed the erroneous operation. When the erroneous operation determination section determines that the occupant has performed the erroneous operation again before elapse of a predetermined threshold time after execution of the driving power reduction control, the control section executes the driving power reduction control again, irrespective of the result of the determination by the parking lot staying determination section.

Abstract: Provided is a driving support device (1) including a control device which has an acceleration suppression function of suppressing acceleration of an own vehicle when the own vehicle is determined to be positioned in a parking area (PA) including a parking spot row (PSA) and an erroneous depression operation is determined to be executed on an accelerator pedal (AP). The control device predicts a trajectory (T) of the own vehicle in a case in which the own vehicle travels when a speed (vs) of the own vehicle is equal to or higher than a predetermined speed, and further predicts a time (?t) required for the own vehicle to reach a point at which the trajectory (T) and the parking spot row (PSA) intersect with each other. The control device determines that the own vehicle is positioned in the parking area (PA) when the predicted time (?t) is equal to or shorter than a predetermined time.
