Abstract

To provide a drive support device capable of optimizing notification with respect to a detected object, and to provide a program thereof.SOLUTION: A drive support device 10 comprises a control part 12 for adjusting a notification content output by controlling a notification part 20 operated by moving in association with a first detection value based on the first detection value output from a plurality of sonar sensors Sn provided in a vehicle 1, a second detection value indicating a shift range state, and a third detection value according to a steering angle of a steering device. The control part calculates a relative distance between the vehicle and an object present around the vehicle based on the first detection value to determine a travel direction of the vehicle based on the second detection value; and individually calculates importance according to the sonar sensors based on the travel direction and the steering angle to adjust the notification content according to a level of the importance.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
