IN-VEHICLE CONTROL DEVICE

The in-vehicle control device is mounted on a motor vehicle including a shift mechanism having a parking position for performing a shift lock on an axle, an electric parking brake for applying a braking force to a wheel connected to the axle, and an electric motor capable of inputting and outputting power to and from the axle. The vehicle control device performs shock reduction control for suppressing a shock generated in the vehicle by outputting torque corresponding to the inclination angle of the vehicle from the electric motor when releasing the shift lock, and determines whether to perform the shock reduction control when releasing the shift lock according to a state when activating the shift lock and a state after activating the shift lock.
