VEHICLE CONTROL SYSTEM

To provide a vehicle control system capable of compatibly achieve improvement in safety of a vehicle after an emergency stop caused during automatic driving and improvement in continuity of a travel.SOLUTION: A control device 15 comprises: an automatic driving control part 35; a discharge control part 71 which controls discharging of electric power accumulated in a high-voltage power accumulation element 62; and a vehicle state determination part 51 which determines a state of a vehicle based upon information received from a vehicle sensor 7. The automatic driving control part 35 performs stop processing to stop the vehicle when a predetermined condition in which it is difficult to continue a travel of the vehicle by the control device 15 or a driver is met during the travel of the vehicle. After the vehicle stops through the execution of the stop processing (St13: Yes, ST15: Yes), the discharge control part 71 executes, according to a result of a determination (ST12) by the vehicle state determination part 51, discharge processing (ST14) to discharge electric power accumulated in the high-voltage power accumulation element 62.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3 【課題】自動運転中に発生した緊急停車後の車両の安全性の向上と走行継続性の向上とを両立し得る車両制御システムを提供する。【解決手段】制御装置１５は、自動運転制御部３５と、高圧蓄電素子６２に蓄積された電力の放電を制御する放電制御部７１と、車両センサ７から受け取った情報に基づいて車両の状態を判定する車両状態判定部５１とを備える。自動運転制御部３５は、車両の走行中に制御装置１５又は運転者による車両の走行の継続が困難である所定の条件が満たされたときに、車両を停止させる停車処理を実行する。停車処理の実行によって車両が停止した後（ＳＴ１３：Ｙｅｓ、ＳＴ１５：Ｙｅｓ）、放電制御部７１が車両状態判定部５１の判定（ＳＴ１２）の結果に応じ、高圧蓄電素子６２に蓄積された電力を放出する放電処理（ＳＴ１４）を実行する。【選択図】図３
