Abstract:
A vehicle control device includes at least one electronic control unit configured to acquire communication information from a surrounding vehicle, acquire a detection result of the traveling state of the surrounding vehicle, identify the surrounding vehicle as a particular vehicle, determine a link state between the surrounding vehicle and the host vehicle as a regular link while the surrounding vehicle is identified as the particular vehicle, identify the particular vehicle as a target vehicle, determine the link state between a lost vehicle and the host vehicle as a temporary link, the lost state being a state in which the target vehicle is not detected by the sensor, recognize the lost vehicle the link state of which has been changed from the regular link to the temporary link as the target vehicle while the link state is the temporary link, and control traveling of the host vehicle.

Claim (Index 1):
A vehicle control device comprising:\n at least one electronic control unit configured to\n acquire communication information from a surrounding vehicle presenting around a host vehicle via inter-vehicle communication, the communication information including a traveling state of the surrounding vehicle, \n acquire a detection result of the traveling state of the surrounding vehicle from a sensor mounted on the host vehicle, \n identify the surrounding vehicle as a particular vehicle by comparing the traveling state included in the communication information and the detection result of the traveling state, the surrounding vehicle having sent the communication information, \n determine a link state between the surrounding vehicle and the host vehicle as a regular link while the surrounding vehicle is identified as the particular vehicle, \n identify the particular vehicle as a target vehicle, \n determine the link state between a lost vehicle and the host vehicle as a temporary link, from a time at which the sensor detects a start of a lost state to a time at which a predetermined termination condition is satisfied, the lost vehicle being a vehicle the link state of which is no longer the regular link because of the lost state, the lost state being a state in which the target vehicle is not detected by the sensor, \n continuously recognize the lost vehicle the link state of which has been changed from the regular link to the temporary link as the target vehicle while the link state is the temporary link, and \n control traveling of the host vehicle based on a traveling state of the target vehicle.
