To locate a cargo compartment of an object on a side close to a user in delivery or pickup of a cargo.SOLUTION: A vehicle control device controls operation relating to collection and delivery of a cargo by a vehicle 50 that can be bidirectionally advanced. The vehicle 50 is intended for a configuration to have a first side cargo compartment on a first side face side (left side) and a second side cargo compartment on an opposite second side surface side (right side) and includes a processing unit 11 for instructing travel of the vehicle. The processing unit 11 outputs an instruction for reversing a traveling direction of the vehicle 50 to a vehicle controller 511 for controlling travel of the vehicle 50 when a side of a side surface on which a cargo compartment is located in which a cargo to be delivered or collected is stored relative to a travel direction to which the vehicle 50 travels to an object user point designated by the user that requests delivery or collection of the cargo and a side relative to the travel direction of the vehicle of the object user point do not coincide.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】荷物の配送又は集荷において利用者に近いサイドに対象の荷室を位置させる。【解決手段】双方向に前進可能な車両５０による荷物の集配に関する動作を制御する車両制御装置であって、車両５０は、第１の側面側（左側）にある第１サイドの荷室と、反対側の第２の側面側（右側）にある第２サイドの荷室とを有する構成のものを対象とし、車両の走行を指示する処理部１１を有する。処理部１１は、荷物の配達又は集荷を要求するユーザが指定する対象ユーザ地点に車両５０が向かう進行方向に対して、配達又は集荷を行う荷物が収納される対象の荷室が位置する側面のサイドと、対象ユーザ地点が車両の進行方向に対するサイドが一致しない場合、車両５０の進行方向を反転させる指示を、車両５０の走行制御を行う車両制御部５１１に出力する。【選択図】図１
