In the present invention, a decrease in the amount of regeneration is prevented, and discomfort is not imparted to the driving sensation of a driver. A determination unit determines whether or not a braking device is being operated by the driver. When decelerating while regenerating, a gear shifting control unit controls the shift of gears of a gear box in a manner so as to suspend the shift of gears and continue regeneration when it has been determined that the braking device is being operated by the driver. The present invention can be applied to vehicles that can regenerate electric power by means of an electric motor when decelerating and that are driven by the electric motor and an internal combustion engine via an automatic gear box.
A vehicle that is driven by an internal combustion engine and an electric motor through a gear box configured to automatically shift gears and that is capable of regenerating electric power by the electric motor when the vehicle decelerates, the vehicle comprising an apparatus including:
A control method for controlling a vehicle that is driven by an internal combustion engine and an electric motor through a gear box configured to automatically shift gears and that is capable of regenerating electric power by the electric motor when the vehicle decelerates, the control method comprising the steps of:
A computer program for causing a computer for controlling a vehicle that is driven by an internal combustion engine and an electric motor through a gear box configured to automatically shift gears and that is capable of regenerating electric power by the electric motor when the vehicle decelerates to perform a process comprising the steps of:
