The vehicle support system includes a man-detecting unit (2) detecting a man, a subject-vehicle-position detecting unit (3) detecting a position of a vehicle, a man-position/waiting-score calculating unit (5) determining the detected man to be a potential-crossing-man who may cross the road, calculating an absolute position of the potential-crossing-man, measuring waiting time of the potential-crossing-man to cross the road, calculating a waiting score, and storing the result in a man-position/waiting-score storing unit (6), a stopping-vehicle determining unit (10) determining whether or not the vehicle should be stopped based on the position and the waiting score of the potential-crossing-man, a travelling controller (12) stopping the vehicle when the vehicle should be stopped, and a pedestrian-crossing-signal display unit (13) displaying information indicating whether or not crossing the road is safe based on an instruction of the stopping-vehicle determining unit.",
