To provide a preceding vehicle start notification device that can reduce a possibility that a preceding vehicle start notification is made when a driver intentionally stops the own vehicle due to an interruption of an adjacent preceding vehicle; and can reduce a possibility that the driver feels annoyed by the preceding vehicle start notification.SOLUTION: A notification ECU performs a preceding vehicle start notification under such a condition that the own vehicle is stopped after the "immediately preceding vehicle that has stopped", the immediately preceding vehicle has started, and when a notification condition is satisfied in which a subtraction value obtained by subtracting a stop distance from a current inter-vehicle distance is equal to or greater than a threshold distance. However, even if the notification condition is satisfied, when it is predicted that the adjacent preceding vehicle is about to interrupt between the own lane and the immediately preceding vehicle (that is, when the expected interrupt condition is satisfied), the preceding vehicle start notification is not performed.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 4
【課題】運転者が隣接先行車両の割り込みのために意図的に自車両を停止させているときに、先行車発進報知がなされる可能性を低減し、運転者が当該先行車発進報知を煩わしいと感じる可能性を低減できる先行車発進報知装置を提供する。【解決手段】報知ECUは、自車両が「停止している直前先行車両」の後で停止している状態において、その直前先行車両が発進し、現時点の車間距離から停止時距離を減算した減算値が閾値距離以上となる報知条件が成立したとき、先行車発進報知を行う。但し、報知条件が成立した場合であっても、隣接先行車両が自車線と直前先行車両との間に割り込みを行おうとしていると予想される場合(即ち、割込予想条件が成立した場合)、先行車発進報知は実施されない。【選択図】図4
