To alert a driver looking in one direction for a relatively long time when changing the vehicle traveling direction, an apparatus includes a data obtaining unit, which obtains sensing data, a gaze direction detector, which detects a driver gaze direction, a gaze direction determiner, which determines distracted driving based on whether the gaze direction deviates by at least a predetermined angle from a traveling direction, and the deviation continues for at least a predetermined allowable duration allowing distracted driving, an alert controller, which outputs a signal instructing to generate an alert, a traveling direction determiner, which detects a change in the traveling direction, and a duration changer, which shortens the allowable duration in response to an intersection being recognized and a change detected in the traveling direction.
