VEHICLE CONTROL DEVICE, VEHICLE CONTROL CENTER, AND PARKING ASSISTANCE SYSTEM

The present invention provides a vehicle control device capable of avoiding a problem due to insufficient energy remaining in a vehicle in a parking lot. The vehicle control device includes a remaining energy amount calculation unit a parking lot information acquisition unit a prediction unit a required energy amount calculation unit and a parking determination unit The remaining energy amount calculation unit calculates a remaining amount of energy of a vehicle V. The parking lot information acquisition unit acquires map information and other vehicles information of a parking lot. The prediction unit predicts a traveling speed and a movement time of the vehicle V at the time of entry and exit. The required energy amount calculation unit calculates a required amount of energy. The parking determination unit determines whether or not the vehicle V can be parked based on the remaining amount of energy and the required amount of energy.
