Abstract
A vehicle control apparatus for controlling a vehicle in response to a target control value includes a first setting unit configured to set a first target control value in response to a driver's request, a correction unit configured to correct the first target control value set by the first setting unit such as to suppress over-spring vibration of the vehicle, a second setting unit configured to set a second target control value in response to conditions different from a driver's request, and an arbitration unit configured to arbitrate between the first target control value and the second target control value, wherein if the second setting unit sets the second target control value, the correction unit is prevented from correcting the first target control value, and the arbitration unit arbitrates between the first target control value not corrected by the correction unit and the second target control value.
