PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a vehicle control device for suppressing the unnecessary automatic stopping of an internal combustion engine.SOLUTION: A vehicle control device including: a negative pressure chamber in which a negative pressure is generated in response to the revolution of an internal combustion engine; brake operation assist means assisting a driver in performing a brake operation using the negative pressure of the negative pressure chamber; and automatic stop/start means automatically stopping the internal combustion engine if a first condition is met and automatically starting the internal combustion engine if a second condition is met after automatically stopping the internal combustion engine, determines whether the vehicle driver does not perform the brake operation, detects the revolving speed of the internal combustion engine, and detects the negative pressure of the negative pressure chamber. The control device prohibits the automatic stopping of the internal combustion engine on the basis of the negative pressure of the negative pressure chamber after it is determined that the driver does not perform the brake operation and a state in which the revolving speed of the internal combustion engine is equal to or higher than a threshold continues for predetermined time or longer. |
