VEHICLE CONTROL DEVICE

This vehicle control device is provided with: an external sensor which detects a vehicle stop position; a vehicle sensor which detects the vehicle speed; a remaining distance calculation unit which calculates the remaining distance; and a short-term trajectory generation unit which sets a target speed on the basis of the remaining distance and the vehicle speed . Furthermore, the short-term trajectory generation unit of the vehicle control device performs correction for increasing the degree of deceleration if a predicted stop position from a prediction unit is predicted to go beyond the vehicle stop position, and performs correction for reducing the degree of deceleration of the host vehicle if the predicted stop position is predicted to be before the vehicle stop position.
