Abstract
A vehicle control device includes a sensor that obtains information about a driving environment of a vehicle, a driving device that controls behavior of the vehicle, and a processor that determines a required control quantity for controlling a velocity or acceleration of the vehicle based on the information obtained by the sensor, determines a longitudinal velocity of the vehicle to minimize a tracking error representing a degree to which the vehicle follows the required control quantity while minimizing a total acceleration at a target location within the vehicle, and generates a control signal for controlling the driving device based on the longitudinal velocity of the vehicle.
