PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce erroneous detection of motion of a body part such as a foot and to improve detection accuracy.SOLUTION: A vehicle door opening/closing control apparatus 100 comprises a sensor 10 for detecting motion of a user's foot, a kick motion determination unit 23 for determining whether the detected motion is a kick motion or not, and a control unit 30 for opening or closing the door of the vehicle when the kick motion is performed. A threshold value is set for an output value of the sensor 10. When a period exceeding the threshold value continues for a certain time or more, and thereafter the output value of the sensor 10 falls below the threshold value, after the output value of the sensor 10 reaches the threshold value, The kick motion determination unit 23 compares a first output value of the sensor 10 before exceeding the threshold value with the second output value of the sensor 10 after falling below the threshold value, and determines that the kick motion has been performed, if a difference (absolute value) between them is equal to or smaller than a predetermined value.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3 【課題】足などの身体部位の動作の誤検出を低減して、検出精度を向上させる。【解決手段】車両ドア開閉制御装置１００は、ユーザの足の動作を検出するセンサ１０と、検出された動作がキック動作か否かを判定するキック動作判定部２３と、キック動作が行われた場合に車両のドアを開動作または閉動作させる制御部３０とを備えている。センサ１０の出力値に対して閾値が設定されている。センサ１０の出力値が閾値に達した後、閾値を超える期間が一定時間以上継続し、その後、センサ１０の出力値が閾値を下回った場合に、キック動作判定部２３は、閾値を超える前のセンサ１０の第１出力値と、閾値を下回った後のセンサ１０の第２出力値とを比較し、両者の差（絶対値）が所定値以下であれば、キック動作が行われたと判定する。【選択図】図３
