Abstract:
A driver information determination apparatus includes a road shape acquisition unit configured to acquire a front section shape ahead of a vehicle; a condition determination unit configured to determine whether the front section shape is a determination target shape; a face direction acquisition unit configured to acquire a face direction of a driver; and a reference face direction determination unit configured to determine a reference face direction based on the face direction of the driver. When it is determined that the front section shape is the determination target shape, the reference face direction determination unit determines the reference face direction based on the face direction of the driver. The determination target shape is a shape of a road having a road curvature less than or equal to a preset upper curvature limit or a shape of the road having a road incline within a preset level range.
