To provide a vehicle controller capable of being aligned with an obstacle beside an own vehicle, while avoiding contact between the obstacle beside the own vehicle and the own vehicle when the own vehicle is parked.SOLUTION: A vehicle controller detects an obstacle beside an own vehicle, and performs contact avoidance control for avoiding contact between the detected obstacle beside the own vehicle and the own vehicle. The vehicle controller performs the contact avoidance control for avoiding contact between the obstacle and the own vehicle, on the basis of: a distance between the obstacle beside the own vehicle and the own vehicle; the height of the obstacle; a lower end height of a wheel of the own vehicle; a lower end height of a bumper of the own vehicle; and a lower end height of a door of the own vehicle.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 9 【課題】駐車時に自車両側方の障害物と自車両との接触を回避しつつ自車両側方の障害物に幅寄せすることができる車両制御装置を提供する。【解決手段】自車両側方の障害物を検出し、検出された自車両側方の障害物と自車両との接触を回避する接触回避制御を行う車両制御装置は、自車両側方の障害物と自車両との距離及び障害物の高さと、自車両のホイール下端高さ、バンパ下端高さ及びドア下端高さとに基づいて障害物と自車両との接触を回避する接触回避制御を行う。【選択図】図９
