CONTROL DEVICE FOR VEHICLE

To provide technique capable of restraining consumption of electrical power by changing the condition of an alighting restriction device according to whether or not any occupant exists within a vehicle.SOLUTION: Alighting limit processing includes at least one of an alarm process for opening operation of a door and an opening operation restriction process of restricting the opening operation of the door. A vehicle control device determines whether or not any occupant exists within the vehicle on the basis of a first information which is information about whether or not the vehicle has travelled and a second information which is information about whether or not opening/closing operation for the door has been performed. The vehicle control device sets a condition of the alighting restriction device to a first condition when it is determined that some occupant exists within the vehicle, or sets the condition of the alighting restriction device to a second condition when it is determined that no occupant exists within the vehicle. The first condition is a condition that consumes electrical power, receiving supply of the electrical power from an electric power unit, and the second condition is a condition that a consumption of the electrical power is smaller compared with the first condition.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 7 【課題】乗員が車両内に存在するか否かに応じて、降車制限装置の状態を変更し、消費電力を抑えることが可能な技術を提供する。【解決手段】降車制限処理は、ドアの開操作に対する警報処理、及び、ドアの開操作を制限する開操作制限処理の少なくとも一方を含む。車両制御装置は、車両の走行が行われたか否かについての情報である第１情報と、ドアに対して開閉操作が行われたか否かについての情報である第２情報とに基づいて、乗員が前記車両内に存在するか否かを判定する。車両制御装置は、乗員が車両内に存在すると判定したとき、降車制限装置の状態を第１状態に設定し、乗員が車両内に存在しないと判定したとき、降車制限装置の状態を第２状態に設定する。第１状態は、電源装置から電力の供給を受けて電力を消費する状態であり、第２状態は、第１状態に比べて電力の消費が小さい状態である。【選択図】図７
