摘要:
An engine ECU (280) and an HV_ECU (320) control a throttle motor (296) such that the throttle valve opening degree (TH) does not exceed a prescribed limit (THlim) and a rate of increase (Ta/t) in the throttle valve opening degree is equal to or lower than a predetermined opening degree increase rate (Tb/t) for a predetermined time period after start-up of the engine (120) is initiated. Thus, power output from the engine is controlled so as not to increase significantly for the predetermined time period. Accordingly, while the engine starts up, a shock that can be felt by a driver can be suppressed. In addition, variation in the amount of air taken into the engine when the engine is started is also reduced, which reduces variation in the amount of pollutants in the exhaust gas emitted while the engine starts up.

A drive force control portion firstly changes a front wheel command torque (Tfcm) and a rear wheel command torque (Trcm) so that each command torque reaches a torque in a predetermined range. The drive force control portion releases the restriction on the change of the rear wheel command torque (Trcm) after the front wheel command torque (Tfcm) and the rear wheel command torque (Trcm) have entered the predetermined range. Therefore, it becomes possible to improve the vehicle stability in a vehicle that includes a plurality of power sources that drives a plurality of wheels.

A drive force control portion (90B) firstly changes a front wheel command torque (Tfcm) and a rear wheel command torque (Trcm) so that each command torque reaches a torque in a predetermined range. For example, if the rear wheel command torque (Trcm) reaches the torque in the predetermined range earlier than the front wheel command torque (Tfcm), the drive force control portion (90B) restricts the change of the rear wheel command torque (Trcm) (holds the rear wheel command torque Trcm constant) until the front wheel command torque (Tfcm) reaches the torque in the predetermined range. The drive force control portion (90B) releases the restriction on the change of the rear wheel command torque (Trcm) after the front wheel command torque (Tfcm) and the rear wheel command torque (Trcm) have entered the predetermined range. Therefore, it becomes possible to improve the vehicle stability in a vehicle that includes a plurality of power sources that drives a plurality of wheels.

A distribution ratio determining unit determines the distribution ratio for distributing a required torque based on a static load distribution ratio, when the sign of the required torque is negative. The distribution ratio determining unit determines the distribution ratio based on a dynamic load distribution ratio, when the sign of the required torque is positive. The distribution ratio determining unit determines the distribution ratio based on the static load distribution ratio and the dynamic load distribution ratio, when the sign of the required torque changes. Thus, even when the sign of the required torque changes, it is possible to prevent the driving forces for a plurality of wheels of a vehicle from changing discontinuously.
摘要:
The drive control of the invention executed in a vehicle sets a correction coefficient keg, based on an intake air temperature and an atmospheric pressure reflecting the density of intake air supplied to an engine, and multiplies a power demand required for the vehicle by the set correction coefficient keg to specify a target engine power, which is to be output from the engine. The engine and two motors are then controlled to ensure output of the specified target engine power from the engine and output of a torque demand, which depends upon an accelerator opening. The varying density of the intake air may cause output of excessive power from the engine or output of insufficient power from the engine. A battery is charged or discharged to compensate for the excessive power output from the engine or for the insufficient power output from the engine. The drive control of the invention effectively deals with the environmental change and prevents the battery from being excessively charged with an unexpectedly high electric power or from being excessively discharged to supply an unexpectedly high electric power.

摘要:
A delay time for delaying starting of an internal combustion engine in a hybrid vehicle is set to a predetermined time based on an engine coolant temperature and a state of an air conditioner switch. Starting of the engine is delayed for the predetermined time if it is determined that a vehicle can run using only a motor based on a required torque, a required power and an SOC of the battery. The predetermined time is determined based on a time necessary for completing preheating of an engine by a preheating device, preparations of sensors such as an air-furl ratio sensor, and warming-up of an exhaust gas purifying device. As a result, it is possible to efficiently perform start of the engine and operation immediately after the engine start, and to make control at the engine start time simple.
