Control apparatus for vehicle

A control apparatus for a vehicle that includes a drive force source, drive wheels, a drive-force transmitting apparatus and a hydraulic control unit,

• wherein the drive-force transmitting apparatus includes:
• an input rotary member to which a drive force is to be transmitted from the drive force source;
• an output rotary member from which the drive force is to be outputted to the drive wheels;
• a gear mechanism configured to provide at least one gear ratio;
• a continuously-variable transmission mechanism;
• a first engagement device;
• and
• a second engagement device,
• wherein the drive-force transmitting apparatus defines a plurality of drive-force transmitting paths that are provided in parallel with each other between the input rotary member and the output rotary member,
• wherein the plurality of drive-force transmitting paths include a first drive-force transmitting path through which the drive force is to be transmitted by the gear mechanism when the first drive-force transmitting path is established by engagement of the first engagement device,
• wherein the plurality of drive-force transmitting paths include a second drive-force transmitting path through which the drive force is to be transmitted by the continuously-variable transmission mechanism when the second drive-force transmitting path is established by engagement of the second engagement device,
• wherein the hydraulic control unit includes:
• an electromagnetic valve configured to regulate a first hydraulic pressure supplied to the electromagnetic valve via a hydraulic passage, such that the regulated first hydraulic pressure is supplied as a second hydraulic pressure from the electromagnetic valve toward the second engagement device, and
• an accumulator connected to the hydraulic passage, so as to store the first hydraulic pressure that flows through the hydraulic passage, and
• wherein said control apparatus comprises a transmission shifting control portion configured to calculate, based on a storage state of the first hydraulic pressure in the accumulator, an input torque inputted to the continuously-variable transmission mechanism when the second engagement device is in a releasing process state.
