Original Abstract Submitted
The present invention provides a vehicle motion control device configured to set speed of an own vehicle in consideration of not only nearby information of the own vehicle but also long-distance information of the own vehicle, so as to reduce an unexpected behavior of the vehicle occurring during travel. The vehicle motion control device includes: a nearby information acquisition unit configured to acquire nearby information of a vehicle; a long-distance information acquisition unit configured to acquire long-distance information of the vehicle; and a speed planning unit configured to generate a speed command value as a travel target of the vehicle, based on the nearby information and the long-distance information.
