Abstract
A vehicle control device for controlling a vehicle including an electrical power generation unit capable of supplying electrical power to a first driving source for driving first drive wheels and a second driving source for driving second drive wheels, and a cooling mechanism for cooling the power generation unit includes an abnormality determination unit for determining whether the cooling mechanism has an abnormality, and a control unit capable of executing a supply limiting process for limiting a supply of electrical power from the electrical power generation unit to the second driving source in the case where the cooling mechanism has an abnormality.
Claims10
A vehicle control device for controlling a vehicle including:
- an electrical power generation unit configured to supply electrical power to a first driving source for driving a first drive wheel and to a second driving source for driving a second drive wheel;
- and a first cooling mechanism configured to cool the electrical power generation unit,
- the vehicle control device comprising one or more processors that execute computer-executable instructions stored in a memory,
- wherein the one or more processors execute the computer-executable instructions to cause the vehicle control device to:
- determine whether the first cooling mechanism has an abnormality;
- and
- execute a supply limiting process for limiting a supply of electrical power from the electrical power generation unit to the second drive source in a case where the first cooling mechanism has an abnormality.
A vehicle control method executed by a computer, the vehicle control method controlling a vehicle including an electrical power generation unit configured to supply electrical power to a first driving source configured to drive a first drive wheel and to a second driving source configured to drive a second drive wheel, and a cooling mechanism configured to cool the electrical power generation unit, the vehicle control method comprising:
- determining whether or not the cooling mechanism has an abnormality;
- executing a supply limiting process for limiting a supply of electrical power from the electrical power generation unit to the second drive source in a case where the cooling mechanism has an abnormality.
