Abstract:
A vehicle control device includes a recognition unit that recognizes positions of nearby vehicles traveling around a host vehicle, a respective lane speed specification unit that specifies a first vehicle speed related to a vehicle traveling in a host lane in which the host vehicle is traveling and a second vehicle speed related to the nearby vehicle traveling in a lane that is a lane change destination of lane change to be performed by the host vehicle, a target position setting unit that sets a lane change target position on the lane that is the lane change destination on the basis of a comparison result between the first vehicle speed and the second vehicle speed, and a control unit that causes the host vehicle to move to the target position by lane change.

Claim (Index 1):
A vehicle control device comprising:\n a recognition unit configured to recognize positions of nearby vehicles traveling around a host vehicle; a respective lane speed specification unit configured to specify a first vehicle speed related to a vehicle traveling in a host lane in which the host vehicle is traveling and a second vehicle speed related to a nearby vehicle traveling in a lane that is a lane change destination of lane change to be performed by the host vehicle; a target position setting unit configured to set a lane change target position on the lane that is the lane change destination on the basis of a comparison result between the first vehicle speed and the second vehicle speed; and a control unit configured to cause the host vehicle to move to the target position by lane change, wherein, when the nearby vehicle traveling in the lane that is the lane change destination and traveling in front of the host vehicle is set as a front reference vehicle and the nearby vehicle traveling in the lane that is the lane change destination and traveling behind the host vehicle is set as a rear reference vehicle, the target position setting unit sets a front side of the front reference vehicle as the target position when the first vehicle speed is faster than the second vehicle speed and sets a rear side of the rear reference vehicle as the target position when the first vehicle speed is slower than the second vehicle speed.
