DRIVING ASSISTANCE APPARATUS

A driving assistance apparatus to be mounted on a vehicle includes an outwardly headed state detection unit, a target accelerator operation amount setting unit, and an information presentation unit. The outwardly headed state detection unit makes a detection of an outwardly headed state in which the vehicle is cornering with a yaw rate and a slip angle of a vehicle body having a same sign. The target accelerator operation amount setting unit sets, in response to the detection of the outwardly headed state, a target accelerator operation amount so that a difference between a driving force on the front wheel caused by an output of the travel power source and an absolute value of a braking force on the front wheel caused by internal circulation torque of a transfer is reduced. The information presentation unit presents the driver with information regarding the target accelerator operation amount.
