To provide a drive support device capable of informing a driver of a vehicle of approaching of an object to the vehicle at an appropriate timing.SOLUTION: A drive support device includes: a storage unit 22 for storing information indicating a degree of familiarity of a driver of a vehicle 2 with environment; a detection unit 32 for detecting an object existing around the vehicle 2 based on a sensor signal indicating a state around the vehicle 2 obtained by a sensor 12 mounted on the vehicle 2; an approach determination unit 33 for determining whether or not an object is closer enough to collide with the vehicle 2; and an informing unit 34 for informing a driver of the approach via a notification apparatus 14 provided in the vehicle 2 at a timing corresponding to a degree of familiarity of the driver of the vehicle 2 with environment when it is determined that the object is so close that it may collide with the vehicle 2.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 4 【課題】車両への物体の接近を適切なタイミングで車両のドライバへ報知できる運転支援装置を提供する。【解決手段】運転支援装置は、車両２のドライバの環境への慣れ度合いを表す情報を記憶する記憶部２２と、車両２に搭載されたセンサ１２により得られた車両２の周囲の状況を表すセンサ信号に基づいて、車両２の周囲に存在する物体を検出する検出部３２と、物体が車両２と衝突する可能性が有るほど接近するか否か判定する接近判定部３３と、物体が車両２と衝突する可能性が有るほど接近すると判定された場合、車両２のドライバの環境への慣れ度合いに応じたタイミングで、車両２に設けられた通知機器１４を介してその接近をドライバに報知する報知部３４とを有する。【選択図】図４
