A vehicle control device includes: a first behavior mode recognition unit that executes a first behavior mode recognition process of recognizing a first behavior mode of a target person based on an image captured by a first camera having a first resolution; a second behavior mode recognition unit that, when a distance between the vehicle and the target person is equal to or less than a predetermined distance, recognizes a second behavior mode of the target person based on an image captured by a second camera having a second resolution higher than the first resolution; a target person behavior recognition unit that recognizes a behavior of the target person against a vehicle based on the first behavior mode and the second behavior mode; and a control unit that executes predetermined control on the vehicle based on the behavior of the target person.

A first device includes: a first reference signal source; a first transmitting/receiving unit which transmits two or more first carrier signals and receives two or more second carrier signals using an output of the first reference signal source; and a calculating unit. A second device includes: a second reference signal source configured to be operated independently from the first reference signal source; and a second transmitting/receiving unit configured to transmit two or more second carrier signals and receive two or more first carrier signals using an output of the second reference signal source. A frequency group of two or more first carrier signals and a frequency group of two or more second carrier signals differ from each other. The calculating unit calculates a distance between the first device and the second device based on a phase detection result obtained by receiving the first and second carrier signals.
