Abstract
A vehicle control device includes a route processor that generates a route from a current location position to a target position. The target position remains constant. The vehicle control device further includes a steering pattern processor that generates a target steering angle, which is a target value of a steering angle for the route, and outputs steering angle information indicating the generated target steering angle. The vehicle control device further includes a steering angle processor that corrects the steering angle information such that a transition curve section of the route includes a steering angle increasing section where the steering angle is below the target steering angle and a steering angle decreasing section where the steering angle exceeds the target steering angle. The vehicle control device further includes a steering controller that performs steering control based on the steering angle information corrected by the steering angle processor.
