Abstract

A vehicle control device includes a space estimation unit that, in a case where it is recognized that a travel position of a host vehicle is inside a railroad crossing, which is a stop prohibited area, and it is recognized that a side road vehicle intends to enter in front of the host vehicle, on the assumption that the side road vehicle has entered in front of the host vehicle, estimates whether a space enough for the host vehicle is formed between the side road vehicle and the stop prohibited area, and a vehicle controller that, if it is estimated that the space is not formed, causes the host vehicle to perform entry prevention action to prevent the side road vehicle from entering in front of the host vehicle.
