PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a vehicular operation support apparatus capable of recovering communication between an unmanned flying body and a vehicle itself quickly when the communication is cut off.SOLUTION: An operation support apparatus includes: an unmanned flying body 1 provided with an imaging device 7; a presentation part 37 for presenting a passenger of a vehicle itself 30 with an image ahead of the vehicle itself in its progress direction, the image picked up with the imaging device; a vehicular state detection part for detecting vehicular information of the vehicle itself; a flight target position setup part for setting a flight target position ahead of the vehicle itself in its progress direction, the position where the unmanned flying body is headed; a communication part for transmitting the vehicular information of the vehicle itself and the flight target position of the unmanned flying body thereto from the vehicle itself; and a flight control part for controlling the unmanned flying body on the basis of the vehicular information of the vehicle itself received by the unmanned flying body and the flight target position of the unmanned flying body. Further, the flight control part estimates a flight position of the unmanned flying body when a given period of time elapses since the communication has been cut off on the basis of vehicular information received by the unmanned flying body last and the flight target position, and causes the unmanned flying body to fly to the estimated flight position after the communication is cut off.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
