Vehicle driving assistance system

The present invention provides a vehicle driving assistance device that can prevent the vehicle's speed from temporarily falling below the legal minimum speed, even when performing driving assistance control that allows the vehicle to coast. [Solution] The vehicle driving support device 10 performs a first driving support control to drive the vehicle 100 by autonomously alternating between accelerating and coasting the vehicle so that the vehicle's speed is maintained within a range between a target upper speed and a target lower speed. The vehicle driving support device sets the target upper speed by adding a predetermined upper limit to the set vehicle speed set by the vehicle's user as the target value for the vehicle's speed, and sets the target lower speed by subtracting a predetermined lower limit from the set vehicle speed. When the first driving support control is executed, if the target lower speed is lower than the legally mandated minimum speed applicable to the vehicle, the predetermined lower limit is changed so that the target lower speed is equal to or greater than the legally mandated minimum speed.
