To provide a vehicle controller capable of properly recognizing an object traffic light to be obeyed by an own vehicle.SOLUTION: An ECU 21 as a vehicle controller recognizes a traffic situation in front of an own vehicle on the basis of an image taken by a camera 11 for imaging a region in front of the own vehicle. The ECU 21 includes: a detection range setting section for setting a traffic light detection range in which traffic lights existing in front of the own vehicle are detected according to a road configuration in the image taken by the camera 11; and a selection section for selecting an object traffic light to be obeyed by the own vehicle from among the traffic lights detected in the traffic light detection range.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2
【課題】自車両が従うべき対象信号機を適正に認識することができる車両制御装置を提供する。【解決手段】車両制御装置としてのECU21は、自車両の前方を撮像するカメラ11が撮像した画像に基づいて自車両の前方の交通状況を認識する。ECU21は、カメラ11が撮像した画像において、道路形態に応じて、自車両の前方に存在する信号機を検出する信号機検出範囲を設定する検出範囲設定部と、その信号機検出範囲で検出された信号機から、自車両が従うべき対象信号機を選択する選択部と、を備える。【選択図】 図2
