Abstract:
A vehicle group control device for controlling the arrangement of vehicles within a vehicle group including plural vehicles, the vehicle group control device including: a periphery monitoring performance grasping unit which grasps a periphery monitoring performance of each vehicle constituting the vehicle group; and an arrangement determination unit which determines the arrangement of the vehicles within the vehicle group on the basis of the periphery monitoring performance of each vehicle. Accordingly, since the periphery monitoring performance of each vehicle within the vehicle group is grasped and the arrangement of the vehicles within the vehicle group can be determined on the basis of the periphery monitoring performance of each vehicle, it is possible to efficiently drive the entire vehicle group.
