Vehicle control device
First Claim
1. A vehicle control device configured to perform travel control of a host vehicle at least partially automatically, comprising one or more processors, the one or more processors being configured to:
- recognize another vehicle that exists ahead of the host vehicle and in a lane different from a lane where the host vehicle is traveling;
predict a overtaking section where the host vehicle overtakes the other vehicle, based on a relation between host vehicle information indicating a driving state of the host vehicle and another-vehicle information indicating a driving state of the other vehicle; and
perform travel control to overtake the other vehicle,wherein the one or more processors are further configured to determine whether the overtaking section entirely or partially overlaps a restricted section in which overtaking is restricted,perform the travel control to adjust speed of the host vehicle in a case where the overtaking section is determined to be entirely or partially overlapped with the restricted section, andwherein the overtaking section and restricted section are portions of the traveling surface on which the host vehicle is traveling.

Abstract
A vehicle control device includes an overtaking prediction unit configured to predict an overtaking section where a host vehicle overtakes another vehicle that exists ahead of the host vehicle and in a second lane different from a first lane where the host vehicle is traveling, and a travel controller configured to perform travel control to overtake another vehicle. The travel controller performs travel control to adjust speed of the host vehicle in a case where the overtaking section predicted by the overtaking prediction unit entirely or partially overlaps a restricted section in which overtaking is restricted.
