Abstract: A vibration suppression torque calculation means calculates a vibration suppression torque for suppressing a sprung vibration. An upper/lower limit value setting means is configured to set, based on a gear ratio of a transmission, upper and lower limit values whose absolute values are increased as the gear ratio is increased. An upper/lower limit restriction means calculates a final vibration suppression torque acquired by using the upper and lower limit values to impose upper/lower limit restriction on the vibration suppression torque. An addition unit sets a value acquired by adding the final vibration suppression torque to a driver required torque to a target torque.

Abstract: A motor vehicle automatic engaged stop system includes an automatic transmission driving at least one wheel and has at least one brake member preventing wheel rotation when engaged and allowing wheel rotation when disengaged. A controller communicates with each of: the brake member to control the brake member; the automatic transmission to control a condition of the automatic transmission, and with a signal device. A brake pedal in communication with the brake member engages the brake member when depressed by a vehicle operator. After the motor vehicle reaches a zero speed the controller energizes the signal device to notify the vehicle operator to release the brake pedal and maintains a vehicle stopped condition with the brake pedal in a released condition and when the motor vehicle is positioned anywhere between uphill and downhill orientation planes.
