To obtain a driving support device that can grasp a situation of a blind spot while reducing a risk of collision with an obstacle which projects an image of a blind spot area.SOLUTION: A driving support device of the present invention is comprised of: an obstacle position detecting unit (111, 202) for detecting a position of an obstacle in the vicinity of an own vehicle 101; a blind spot area determination unit (203) that determines a blind spot area of the own vehicle based on the position of a peripheral obstacle; a blind spot area image acquisition unit (204) that acquires an image of the area determined to be the blind spot area; a collision risk determination unit that determines a collision risk based on a position and a relative speed of the peripheral obstacle and the own vehicle; a blind spot area projection image generating unit (206) that generates an image of the blind spot area to be projected onto the peripheral obstacle based on the collision risk; and a display unit for displaying the image of the blind spot region.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 6 【課題】死角領域の画像を投影する障害物との衝突リスクを下げつつ、死角の状況を把握することが可能となる運転支援装置を得ること。【解決手段】本発明の運転支援装置は、自車１０１の周辺障害物の位置を検出する障害物位置検出部（１１１、２０２）と、周辺障害物の位置に基づいて自車の死角領域を判断する死角領域判断部（２０３）と、死角領域と判断された領域の画像を取得する死角領域画像取得部（２０４）と、周辺障害物と自車との位置および相対速度に基づいて衝突リスクを判定する衝突リスク判定部と、衝突リスクに基づいて周辺障害物に投影する死角領域の画像を生成する死角領域投影画像生成部（２０６）と、死角領域の画像を表示する表示部を有する。【選択図】図６
