Vehicle control device

A vehicle control device comprising:

• an actual acceleration recognition unit that recognizes actual acceleration of a vehicle;
• an integrated value calculation unit that calculates a time integrated value of a difference between predetermined target acceleration and the actual acceleration;
• a control instruction value setting unit that sets a control instruction value for a drive apparatus of the vehicle based on the time integrated value;
• and
• an integration processing limiting unit that limits calculation of the time integrated value performed by the integrated value calculation unit so that the time integrated value when a predetermined limiting condition is satisfied is smaller than the time integrated value when the limiting condition is not satisfied,
• wherein the limiting condition is that a difference between a target jerk that is a differential value of the target acceleration and an actual jerk that is the differential value of the actual acceleration is greater than a predetermined jerk difference determination value.
