Abstract

A vehicle control device, that controls to suppress a driving force of a vehicle based on an operation of a brake pedal operated when a braking force is generated by a braking device, wherein the brake pedal is connected to a brake booster, that increases an operating force input to the brake pedal by using a brake negative pressure to transmit to brake fluid of the braking device in order to appropriately control by appropriately detecting the operation of the brake pedal; and the driving force is suppressed according to an M/C pressure when the brake negative pressure is higher than a brake negative pressure threshold value, and the driving force is suppressed according to an operation state of the brake pedal when the brake negative pressure is equal to or lower than the brake negative pressure threshold value.
