A vehicle control apparatus to be mounted on a vehicle, the vehicle including a first driving source and a first wheel to which torque is to be outputted from the first driving source, the first driving source including an electric motor, the vehicle control apparatus comprising:
- a storage configured to hold a first resonance map;
- and
- a processor configured to calculate a first torque command value that indicates a value of the torque to be outputted by the first driving source, wherein
- the first resonance map includes, as one or more first resonance points, one or more operating points at which resonance occurs in an operating region of the first driving source under a square wave control,
- the processor is configured to decrease or increase the first torque command value to avoid the one or more first resonance points on a condition that a predicted route of transition of an operating point of the first driving source meets the one or more first resonance points,
- the vehicle further includes a second driving source, the second driving source being configured to output torque to the first wheel or a second wheel different from the first wheel,
- the processor is configured to calculate a second torque command value that indicates a value of the torque to be outputted by the second driving source,
- the processor is configured to:
- increase the second torque command value in decreasing the first torque command value to avoid the one or more first resonance points;
- and
- decrease the second torque command value in increasing the first torque command value to avoid the one or more first resonance points,
- the second driving source includes an electric motor,
- the storage is configured to hold a second resonance map that includes, as one or more second resonance points, one or more operating points at which resonance occurs in an operating region of the second driving source under a square wave control,
- components of the first resonance map include a rotation speed of the first driving source and the torque of the first driving source,
- components of the second resonance map include a rotation speed of the second driving source and the torque of the second driving source,
- the rotation speed of the first driving source takes a value obtained by multiplying the rotation speed of the second driving source by a first ratio, and
- a range of the rotation speed of the first driving source in the first resonance map in which the one or more first resonance points are located avoids overlap with a range obtained by multiplying, by the first ratio, a range of the rotation speed of the second driving source in the second resonance map in which the one or more second resonance points are located.
