Abstract

There is achieved an electronic control device capable of calculating an optimal travel plan even during dynamic reconfiguration of a calculation circuit configuration. When a driving state changes, a travel plan parameter generation/selection unit divides evaluation calculation units into two blocks and performs reconfiguration of the respective evaluation calculation units a plurality of times via a reconfiguration control unit. While the evaluation calculation units are reconfigured, the evaluation calculation units performs evaluation calculation, and while the evaluation calculation units are reconfigured, the evaluation calculation units perform evaluation calculation. Thus, even while some of the evaluation calculation units are being reconfigured, it is possible to continue evaluation of the travel plan in the rest of the evaluation calculation units.
