Abstract:
A vehicle control apparatus is mounted on a vehicle including an emergency stop function to detect an abnormal state of a driver and automatically stop the vehicle. The vehicle control apparatus provides control at a time of stopping the vehicle and includes process execution sections and a process stop section. The process execution sections perform predetermined emergency processes in response to the emergency stop function stopping the vehicle; the emergency processes control instruments mounted on the vehicle and use a battery of the vehicle as a driving power source. The process stop section stepwise stops at least part of the emergency processes performed by the process execution sections based on a predetermined stop sequence.

Claim (Index 4):
The vehicle control apparatus according to  claim 3 ,\n wherein the idling determination section includes: a facility position detection section that detects a position of a predetermined refuge facility nearest to a position where the emergency stop function stops the vehicle; a calculation section that calculates an amount of fuel needed by the vehicle to travel from a position of the vehicle stopped by the emergency stop function to a position of the refuge facility detected by the facility position detection section; and a fuel determination section that determines whether the remaining amount of fuel in the vehicle is smaller than or equal to the amount of fuel calculated by the calculation section, wherein the idling stop section stops the idling in response to the fuel determination section determining that the remaining amount of fuel in the vehicle is smaller than or equal to the amount of fuel calculated by the calculation section.
