Abstract
Disclosed is a vehicle control device that generates a speed pattern of a vehicle in a predetermined traveling section and controls the vehicle on the basis of the speed pattern. The vehicle control device includes an average traffic flow vehicle speed acquiring unit for acquiring an average traffic flow vehicle speed in the predetermined traveling section, an optimal low fuel consumption speed pattern generating unit for generating a speed pattern which is optimized to reduce the fuel consumption of the vehicle in the predetermined traveling section on the basis of the average traffic flow vehicle speed, and a control unit for controlling the vehicle on the basis of the optimal low fuel consumption speed pattern.
