Abstract
Provided is a system for controlling opening/closing of a shutter for a vehicle, which allows the shutter to be appropriately opened and closed on the whole travel path of the vehicle. A control device for the shutter includes: an opening/closing control unit that brings the shutter into an open state when a temperature in an engine room exceeds a predetermined threshold, and brings the shutter into a closed state when the temperature is the threshold or less; and a traveling state predicting unit that predicts a traveling state of the vehicle after a lapse of a predetermined time based on map information and path information. The opening/closing control unit has a threshold changing section that changes the threshold based on the traveling state of the vehicle after the lapse of the predetermined time predicted by the traveling state predicting unit.
