Abstract
A vehicle control device includes a determination unit that determines, based on the detection results of sensor that acquire the surrounding environment of the host vehicle, whether obstacles and traveling other vehicles exist in the adjacent lane adjacent to one side in the vehicle-width direction of an own lane in which the host vehicle travels, and a travel control unit that, when it is determined by the determination unit that obstacles and traveling other vehicles exist in the adjacent lane, offsets the lateral position of the host vehicle in the own lane to the other side in the vehicle-width direction. The travel control unit adjusts the amount of offset to offset the lateral position of the host vehicle to the other side in the vehicle-width direction according to the road structure on the opposite side of the adjacent lane side.
