1. A vehicle control device comprising:
an information acquirer that acquires information on driving conditions of a vehicle at least containing a steering angle of a steering wheel and a vehicle speed;
a brake force setter that sets a brake force to each of a plurality of wheels provided in the vehicle based on the driving conditions of the vehicle; and
a brake controller that performs brake control for each of the plurality of wheels using the brake force set by the brake force setter,
wherein
when the steering wheel is in one side steering position, in a case of a first brake force is set to a first specific wheel selected based on at least the steering position, the brake force setter remains the first brake force for the first specific wheel during a turn-over operation while the turn-over operation is performed from the one side steering position through a neutral position to other side steering position, and
the brake force setter, in the case of the turn-over operation is performed, sets a second brake force for a second specific wheel selected based on at least a steering position when the steering wheel is in the other side steering position, and the brake force setter gradually decreases the first brake force for the first specific wheel according to a change mode of the steering angle and gradually increases the second brake force for the second specific wheel according to the change mode of the steering angle during the turn-over operation.
