To provide a vehicle control apparatus capable of suppressing an inappropriate behavior of a vehicle stemming from wrong speed operation of an old driver in a case where a moving article appears ahead.SOLUTION: A vehicle control apparatus includes: an estimation part for estimating an age of a driver on the basis of a facial image showing the face of the driver of the vehicle: a calculation part for calculating a distance between the vehicle and a moving article detected on the basis a forward image representing a situation in front of the vehicle; a determination part for determining whether the age of the driver estimated by the estimation part exceeds a given reference age and whether the distance between the moving article and vehicle calculated by the calculation part is less than a reference distance; and a conclusion part for concluding, in a case where the determination part determines that the age of the driver exceeds the reference age and that the distance between the moving article and vehicle is less than the reference distance, whether to limit a speed of the vehicle to a first reference speed or less, or to limit accelerating operation of the driver in an attempt to accelerate the vehicle from reflecting to the travel of the vehicle.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2
【課題】前方に移動物体が現れた場合、高齢のドライバの誤った速度操作から生じる車両の不適切な挙動を抑制できる車両制御装置を提供する。【解決手段】車両制御装置は、車両のドライバの顔を表す顔画像に基づいて、ドライバの年齢を推定する推定部と、車両の前方の状況を表す前方画像に基づいて検出された移動物体と車両との距離を算出する算出部と、推定部によって推定されたドライバの年齢が所定の基準年齢を上回り、且つ、算出部によって算出された移動物体と車両との距離が所定の基準距離を下回るか否かを判定する判定部と、判定部によって、ドライバの年齢が基準年齢を上回り、且つ、移動物体と車両との距離が基準距離を下回ると判定された場合、車両の速度を第1基準速度以下に制限するか、又は、ドライバによる車両を加速させるための加速操作の車両の走行への反映を制限することを決定する決定部と、を備える。【選択図】図2
