Abstract:
1. A vehicle control device comprising: a first memory for storing a road condition data, which includes a map data, a curve radius of a road and a road inclination angle of the road; a position detector for detecting a position of a vehicle; a first controller for detecting unusual behavior of the vehicle and for controlling the vehicle in response to the unusual behavior; a driving condition detector for detecting a driving condition of the vehicle; an information acquiring element for acquiring weather information; a second memory for storing a driving data; a data acquiring element for acquiring the driving condition as a compensation data, for acquiring the road condition data at a point where the first controller controls the vehicle in response to the unusual behavior, and for acquiring the weather information; a memory controller for operating the second memory to store the point as an attention spot in the second memory, the point where the first controller controls the vehicle in response to the unusual behavior; a first optimum mode determining element for determining an optimum vehicle control mode based on the compensation data at the attention spot, the road condition data and the weather information; and a second controller for controlling the vehicle in such a manner that the driving condition of the vehicle coincides with the optimum vehicle control mode when the vehicle runs through the attention spot or before the vehicle runs through the attention spot.
