VEHICLE CONTROL DEVICE

The present invention is provided with: a traveling state detection means that detects the traveling state of a vehicle and that has a braking/driving force posture control amount computation means, which computes an amount of braking/driving force posture control controlled by means of the braking/driving force of the vehicle in a manner so that the posture of the vehicle body becomes a target posture, and an attenuating force control means, which controls the attenuating force of a shock absorber on the basis of the amount of braking/driving force posture control; a target posture control amount computation means that computes a target posture control amount of the vehicle body on the basis of the traveling state; and an abnormality detection means that detects abnormalities of the shock absorber. When an abnormality has been detected by the abnormality detection means, on the basis of the target posture control amount, the braking/driving force posture control amount computation means computes the amount of braking/driving force posture control controlled by means of the braking/driving force of the vehicle.
