When there is a likelihood of an own vehicle colliding with a first object present in a travelling direction of the own vehicle based on detection results from a detecting unit, a brake assistance apparatus determines whether there is an avoidance area, that is an area in which there is no second object in the periphery of the first object present in the travelling direction, is available for avoiding the collision by steering of the own vehicle. When no avoidance area is present, the brake assistance apparatus increases a brake assistance level using a brake assisting unit to be higher than when the avoidance area is present, and causes the brake assisting unit to perform brake assistance. Increasing the brake assistance level includes at least one of: advancing a timing for starting brake assistance of the own vehicle; and increasing the strength of brake assistance of the own vehicle.
