Vehicle control apparatus

A vehicle control apparatus provided with a drive source, an accelerator pedal, and a foot brake pedal, comprising:

• a drive state detection means for detecting the drive state of a vehicle including a drive force desired value of a drive force outputted by the drive source,
• an output control means for executing a reduction control to reduce the drive force outputted by the drive source from the drive force desired value;
• a permission condition determination means for determining whether or not the permission condition to permit the execution of the reduction control is established;
• and
• a speed reduction determination means for determining the speed reduction based on the drive state detected by the drive state detection means;
• wherein
• the drive state detection means having an accelerator detection means for detecting the depression or the depression amount of the accelerator pedal, and a foot brake detection means for detecting the depression or the depression amount of the foot brake pedal,
• the permission condition determination means determining that the permission condition is established when the speed reduction is determined by the speed reduction determination means, and determining that the permission condition is not established when the speed reduction is not determined by the speed reduction determination means in the case that the depression of the accelerator pedal is detected by the accelerator detection means and the depression of the foot brake pedal is detected by the foot brake detection means, and
• the output control means executing the speed reduction when the permission condition determination means determines that the permission condition is established, and not executing the speed reduction when the permission condition determination means determines that the permission condition is not established.
