Claim Text:
1. A vehicle control device for controlling a vehicle including a transmission to which a torque is transmitted from a drive source, comprising: a drive source control unit adapted to output a command for automatically stopping the drive source when a first predetermined condition is satisfied and to output a command for restarting the drive source when a second predetermined condition is not satisfied after the command for automatically stopping the drive source is output; a drive source restart determination unit adapted to determine that the drive source has restarted when a third predetermined condition is satisfied after the command for restarting the drive source is output; a restart determination prohibition unit adapted to prohibit a restart determination by the drive source restart determination unit at least until the third predetermined condition is no longer satisfied when the third predetermined condition is satisfied and the command for restarting the drive source is output, a hydraulic pressure supply unit adapted to be driven by the drive source and to supply a hydraulic pressure to the transmission; and a hydraulic pressure detection unit adapted to detect the hydraulic pressure supplied by the hydraulic pressure supply unit, wherein the drive source restart determination unit is adapted to determine that the drive source has restarted, assuming that the third predetermined condition has been satisfied, when the hydraulic pressure detected by the hydraulic pressure detection unit becomes equal to or higher than a predetermined hydraulic pressure; and wherein the restart determination prohibition unit is adapted to prohibit the restart determination at least until the hydraulic pressure becomes less than the predetermined hydraulic pressure after the command for automatically stopping the drive source is output.
