In the present invention, an integrated control unit simultaneously causes a long-term route generation unit, an intermediate-term route generation unit, and a short-term route generation unit to begin generating routes when an automatic driving mode is set to an on state by an automatic driving on setting unit, and a vehicle is instantly subjected to automatic driving control using a short-term route prior to the generation of a long-term route. As a result, the present invention provides a vehicle control device that can immediately perform automatic driving control based on a short-term route after the automatic driving mode of the vehicle is set to the on state and, after generating a long-term route in which riding comfort improves a stepwise manner, perform automatic driving control in which the long-term route and an intermediate-term route are taken into account.
