Vehicle control device

Abstract

Vehicle control device (100) configured to perform deceleration support control for decelerating an output vehicle (1) under the condition that a deceleration target requiring deceleration of the output vehicle (1) is ahead in the direction of travel of the output vehicle (1), wherein the vehicle control device (100) comprises: a computing device (13) configured to calculate a variety of controlled variables for decelerating the output vehicle (1) when a variety of deceleration targets are ahead in the direction of travel of the output vehicle (1), in conjunction with the variety of deceleration targets; an output device (14) configured to select and output a controlled variable from the plurality of controlled variables; and a controller (15) that is programmed or configured to perform the delay support control based on the one controlled variable, characterized in that If the delay support control is performed on the basis of a first controlled variable which is the one controlled variable, the output device (14) is configured to output a second controlled variable, different from the first controlled variable, from the plurality of controlled variables instead of the first controlled variable as the one controlled variable, provided that the second controlled variable is greater than a toggling controlled variable which is a value greater than the first controlled variable by a predetermined value.
