To control travelling of an own vehicle by predicting behaviors of other vehicles regardless of whether there are possible communications with other vehicles.SOLUTION: A vehicle controller 1, which is equipped in an own vehicle V, includes: a storage unit 11 for storing vehicle control information in which the type of a vehicle travelling ahead of an own vehicle V and travel condition information showing the travel condition of the vehicle V to the type of the vehicle ahead of the vehicle V are related to each other; an image acquisition unit 121 for acquiring an image taken by a camera 2 provided in the vehicle V; an information identification unit 122 for identifying number plate information of the vehicle travelling ahead of the vehicle V on the basis of the image taken by the image acquisition unit 121; a vehicle type specification unit 123 for specifying the type of the vehicle ahead of the vehicle V on the basis of the number plate information identified by the information identification unit 122; and a travel control unit 124 for controlling travel of the vehicle V on the basis of the travel condition information related to the type of vehicle of the preceding vehicle specified by the vehicle type specification unit 123 with reference to the vehicle control information stored in the storage unit 11.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2
【課題】他車両との通信可否にかかわらず他車両の挙動を予測して自車両の走行を制御する。【解決手段】自車両Vに搭載される車両制御装置1は、自車両Vの前方を通行する前走車の車種と、当該車種の車両に対する自車両Vの走行条件を示す走行条件情報とを関連付けた車両制御用情報を記憶する記憶部11と、自車両Vに設けられたカメラ2が撮像した撮像画像を取得する画像取得部121と、画像取得部121が取得した撮像画像に基づいて自車両Vの前方を通行する前走車のナンバープレート情報を識別する情報識別部122と、情報識別部122により識別されたナンバープレート情報に基づいて前走車の車種を特定する車種特定部123と、記憶部11に記憶された車両制御用情報を参照し、車種特定部123により特定された前走車の車種に関連付けられた走行条件情報に基づいて自車両Vの走行を制御する走行制御部124と、を有する。【選択図】図2
