VEHICLE CONTROL DEVICE, VEHICLE CONTROL METHOD, AND PROGRAM FOR VEHICLE CONTROL

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a vehicle control device, etc. capable of increasing the possibility of avoiding a collision based on a relative relationship between a vehicle travelling ahead and a vehicle travelling behind, and a user's own vehicle.SOLUTION: A vehicle control device (20) includes: an object detection part (202) for detecting an object present around a user's own vehicle; a calculation part (206) for calculating an overlapping amount of a position in the lateral direction of the user's own vehicle and a position in the lateral direction of the object detected by the object detection part; a determination part (210) for determining whether or not a collision can be avoided by brake with the object detected by the object detection part; and a control part (216) for avoiding the object detected by the object detection part by braking the user's own vehicle and controlling the steering direction of the user's own vehicle based on the overlapping amount calculated by the calculation part when it is determined by the determination part that the collision can be avoided.
