Abstract
Realized is a vehicle control device capable of performing automatic driving control that does not reduce turning accuracy of a host vehicle even when an object in a blind spot is different from an assumption and a vehicle speed decreases due to a rapid deceleration. A vehicle control deviceincludes a blind spot object estimation unitthat detects a blind spot regionof an external-field recognition sensorthat recognizes an external field and estimates a blind spot objectpotential in the blind spot region, and a future trajectory generation unitthat generates a future trajectory of a host vehicle in consideration of a potential risk from the blind spot objectestimated by the blind spot object estimation unitand surrounding information of a vehiclethat is the host vehicle. Furthermore, the vehicle control deviceincludes a target steering angle calculation unitthat calculates a curvature radius at which the vehicletravels from the future trajectory generated by the future trajectory generation unitand a past trajectory of the vehicle, and calculates a target steering angle of the vehiclefrom the calculated curvature radius and an acceleration/deceleration of the vehicle
