Patent ID: 8321113

Claim:
A vehicle control device mounted on a vehicle including a vehicle speed sensor which detects a vehicle speed, an accelerator opening detecting sensor which detects an accelerator opening, and braking means that adjusts deceleration of the vehicle, the control device comprising: a storage unit which stores a plurality of deceleration tables in which braking parameters required to acquire a predetermined deceleration are set; and deceleration selecting means which allows a user to select a deceleration table among the plurality of deceleration tables as a target deceleration, wherein when the detected vehicle speed is equal to or lower than a first preset vehicle speed V 1 and the detected accelerator opening is equal to or less than a preset accelerator opening after the target deceleration is selected by the deceleration selecting means, the selection of the target deceleration is validated, and the selected deceleration table is read from the storage unit, and the braking means is actuated on the basis of the braking parameters specified in the selected deceleration table, thereby executing deceleration control so as to provide the selected target deceleration.
