Abstract
A control apparatus for a vehicle includes an offset torque calculator configured to perform calculation of offset torque to be applied to at least one wheel of the vehicle. The offset torque is required to stop the vehicle on a sloping road having a predetermined gradient. The control apparatus includes a motor controller configured to, for stopping the vehicle on the sloping road having the predetermined gradient, perform control of causing output torque of the motor-generator to asymptotically approach the offset torque.
Claims12
A control apparatus for causing a motor-generator of a vehicle to apply drive power to at least one wheel of the vehicle, and operate, at a stop of the vehicle, in a regenerative mode to apply braking force to the at least one wheel of the vehicle, the control apparatus comprising:
- an offset torque calculator configured to calculate offset torque to be applied to the at least one wheel of the vehicle, the offset torque being required to stop the vehicle on a sloping road having a predetermined gradient;
- and
- a motor controller configured to, in stopping of the vehicle on the sloping road having the predetermined gradient, cause output torque of the motor-generator to gradually approach the offset torque while maintaining a deceleration of the vehicle to be substantially constant.
