Abstract: A vehicle control device for controlling a vehicle is configured to stop in response to a request from a prospective passenger and allow the prospective passenger to board. The vehicle control device includes: a stop candidate location extraction unit configured to extract a candidate location for a stop location where the vehicle is to be stopped in order to allow the prospective passenger to board; a first movement time calculation unit configured to calculate a first movement time that is a time required for the prospective passenger to move to the candidate location; a second movement time calculation unit configured to calculate a second movement time that is a time required for the vehicle to move to the candidate location; a standby time calculation unit configured to calculate a standby time of the vehicle at the candidate location based on the first movement time and the second movement time; and a stop location determination unit configured to determine, when the standby time is equal to or shorter than a predetermined allowable stop time at the candidate location, the candidate location as the stop location.
