  • Publication number: 20240110425
    Abstract: A vehicle door control device is provided to a vehicle including a door and a drive device. The vehicle door control device executes door control processing when the door moves in a closing direction from a stopped state in a state where a closing operation command signal for commanding a closing operation of the door is not received. In the door control processing, the vehicle door control device executes a braking mode, in which a braking force is applied to the door by regenerative braking action of a motor, when the door opening degree is less than the determination opening degree, and executes a closing operation mode, in which the door performs the closing operation such that a moving speed of the door is constant, when the door opening degree is equal to or greater than the determination opening degree.
