Abstract:
1. A vehicle operation device provided with: a grip part that is provided on a steering wheel of a vehicle, and which is grippable by an operator; an operation unit provided on the grip part and that has an operation panel in which contact operations are possible by the fingers of the operator; an operation detection device that detects contact operations with respect to the operation panel by the fingers of the operator with a predetermined coordinate system that is set on the operation panel as a reference; a display unit in which an arrangement is fixed regardless of the rotation of the steering wheel; a display control device that controls the display of the display unit according to the contact operations detected by the operation detection device; a steering angle detection device that detects a steering angle of the steering wheel; a travel state detection device that detects a travel state of the vehicle; a correction device that corrects the coordinate system according to the steering angle detected by the steering angle detection device; and a correction prohibition device that, based on at least one from among the contact operations detected by the operation detection device, the steering angle detected by the steering angle detection device, and the travel state detected by the travel state detection device, prohibits correction of the coordinate system by the correction device even if the steering angle is more than a predetermined steering angle.
