Abstract
A vehicle control device is provided with an adjusting device and a control device. The adjusting device is capable of individually adjusting a rotary phase of each wheel of a vehicle. The control device is capable of executing control to individually adjust the rotary phase of each wheel by controlling the adjusting device based on a correlation between the rotary phase of the wheel and hydroplaning characteristics, which indicates resistance to occurrence of a hydroplaning phenomenon, when the hydroplaning phenomenon occurs in the vehicle. Therefore, the vehicle control device has an effect of stabilizing behavior of the vehicle when the hydroplaning phenomenon occurs.
